专辑简介
New Orleans-born trumpeter and vocalist Abram Wilson follows his impressive debut album with a sideways shift towards the source of the music. Ride! is a moral tale, the progress of a hip pilgrim (or rake) told through jazz composition, spoken word, song and scat. It's less wordy than A Life in the Day of B19: Tales of the Towerblock, the similarly ambitious project by Wilson's friend and labelmate Soweto Kinch. Where the explicitly British (and more anxious) B19 mixes improvisation with rap and radio drama, the feelgood Ride! forges new links between contemporary acoustic jazz and the blues. Listen to Life Ain't So Bad, with its gutsy harmonica (Errol Linton); the tuba-driven funk of Looking to the Outside; the raucous rhythms of Blow to the Head; the forceful Confrontation and Acceptance; and the opening, heartfelt I Want More For Me Than This. Wilson handles his narrative and melodic themes with huge confidence and a generous musical heart.
