Kelly Rossum Quintet “Renovation”
Page 2
Page 2 of 2
“Disposable Assets” is a great tune, but I think I would've preferred a more subtle drum line. “Life on Mars” is one of my favorite tunes on this CD and Bates' mesmerizing drumming is positively inspired behind Chris Thomson's solo which is followed by Kelly's muted trumpet with heavy reverb. It reminded me of the Jack Johnson Sessions, only with a tune, a plan and solid execution.

Throughout this CD Chris Lomheim's piano work is also superb. On the Rhodes he evoked Herbie Hancock and sometimes even hints of Deodato, especially on the film-noirish ballad “The Two of Us”.

On “Taxi Funeral March” Michael O'Brien is featured with a haunting bowed intro followed by a gravelly, growling trumpet and a cacophonous mix of sounds including siren-like wails from Thomson on tenor. O'Brien on electric bass is quite funky on “Glass Wheel”.

This is a young group that gives me hope that jazz has a future and it will not be boring. I highly recommend this CD . Catch the CD release Party Wednesday May 26th at 7:30 PM at the Cedar Cultural Center in Minneapolis. Kelly Rossum's website is www.krossum.com.
