Violinist/bandleader/composer Stefano Pastor certainly talks a good fight in his notes to this album. Everyone from Monk and Mingus to Mozart and Jobim is namechecked; all his own compositions are labelled ‘transmutations’ of a pretty representative selection of jazz sub-genres, from blues and bop to samba and free improvisation (often, as in ‘Dimorfismo’, in the same piece). The actual music does, for the most part, deliver. Propelled by a sparky, responsive and commendably versatile rhythm section, Pastor’s violin and Stefano Calcagno’s trombone intertwine, play complementary roles and strike sparks off each other, all the time sounding utterly at home in the various quick-changing stylistic roles assigned to them by Pastor’s compositions. Many, however (particularly those from outside the free-improvisation camp), will find Pastor’s violin tone (a sort of dry scrape deliberately lacking in mellowing resonance), and the resultant sourness of his harmony work with Calcagno, a little offputting at first. If you can get past that, though, there is a great deal to enjoy in this varied and thoughtful album.
The Mozart-inspired ‘Don Juan’, for instance, has chosen its melodic fragments judiciously for its purposes, and is well served by what Pastor himself calls a “dark and meditative habanera”. ‘Dimorfismo’ juggles its various stylistic elements to intriguing effect; John Coltrane’s ‘Crescent’ moves from an arresting rubato into a meditative mood characterised by “feelings of tension and anxiety”. So although the tonal qualities of the front-line players might be problematic for some listeners, this is an absorbing album filled with ideas and insight into the essential qualities of the various stages through which jazz has passed.
