 In a Minor Mood January 14, 2006
Written by mflaherty
This, the last performance of Robert’s "December Suite", is, for me, the most moving of the four released so far. While there does seem to be some search occuring here, some of the mournful longing found on the newer recordings on Love Cannot Bear and the December 2000 performances in NYC are found here. Of course, this is strictly subjective, but when I hear that mood I tend to be more drawn in, as is the case with this incredible performance. There is, perhaps, a clue in the title for the "Queer Jazz" piece: Minor--minor chords often being heard as sad chords. While this version of "Time Stands Still" is fairly typical of these sets, the playing on Queer Jazz has a considerably darker feel. The solos, both the "piano" sounds and more traditional electric guitar, are simply amazing. The finalle of "At the End of Time" continues the mood, bringing the set to a striking close. If you just buy one of these four performances, I would recommend this one.
