"From beginning to end the musicians allegorize personal sentiment without becoming morose or overly introspective …(a) wonderful recording.”
- All About Jazz
When Wayne Horvitz decided to record a new piano record, his first leading his own group in 15 years, he took his time until he found the combination of players that was just right. The wait was worth it: thanks to a great piano and studio, 11 of his distinctive tunes and the members of his organ-based group Zony Mash playing unplugged, the music on this 2002 release shines. Foregrounding melody and harmony through the gentle voicings of the piano/guitar front line, concise solos and thoughtful group interplay, the program sets a leisurely pace while evoking a range of styles and feelings. Impressionistic ballads blend with mid-tempo songs steeped in the history of jazz, R&B, rock 'n' roll, soul, funk, blues, gospel and the avant-garde. A chamber jazz homage to musical roots, Forever is an open-hearted yet serenely beautiful record.
