Chano Dominguez Trio – Con Alma (2004) [Japan 2016]

This is a rather different Chano from the one who first enthralled me with Hecho a Mano (Hand-made), his blazing flamenco/jazz mix recorded in Madrid in 1996 and released on Sunnyside a few years ago. On Con Alma he’s replaced the handclaps and multilayered percussion with a traditional jazz trio, bringing on world-class band mates George Mraz and Jeff Ballard. But his roots are still very much in evidence from the first track, a dynamic take on a traditional song—my dictionary tells me “La Tatara” means “sound of a trumpet as a signal for action.” There’s no trumpet here, but there’s plenty of action. Dominguez has a lithe, sensitive touch, impeccable time, and terrific sense of spacing; while he has chops to burn, he lets a lot of fresh air into his playing, unlike some of his more bombastic compatriots. “How About You” is bright and playful and his “Dolphin Dance” is a whirl through the clouds rather than a splash in the sea. Dominguez knows how to build excitement, as demonstrated in the title track; “Con Alma,” which features one of several fine solos by Mraz, who is justifiably famous for his lyricism and fat, round sound. Meanwhile, Ballard supplies just the right feel throughout: subtle, intricate, and ever-swinging, he gets to break out on a delightful, sparkling “Speak Low.” It’s a terrific trio and beautifully in synch. One of my favorite tracks is “It Could Happen to You,” which begins with a solo full of flamenco flair, then takes off for an extended joyride. This is followed by an intriguing meditation on Steve Swallow’s “Hullo Bolinas” which is both free and structured, highlighting the group’s versatility. The inclusion of strong Spanish compositions makes a nice mix with the familiar standards; Con Alma ia a rich and tasty feast, laced with salsa. Recommended.

‘Chopin’s workswere a trigger. I was totally moved listening to my father playing the Notturno No.5 and I choose music for life [and not painting]‘. As early as 1948 Richter recorded a Polonaise Op.25 no.1, and in 1950 the Ballade No.2 Op.38, fewStudies . . . Avowed enemy of integrals the present programme is a fabulous example of his choices, excluding tha famous Funeral Sonata ,Walzes, First Piano Concerto . . ., leaving these to Gilels‘far better than him’his point of view!

Saúl Bitran writes of the present release: “Ruperto Chapí’s String Quartet No. 3 could well be subtitled Tragic Quartet. Here’s a work of a stormy nature, containing atmospheres of drama, anguish and loneliness. Out of the four quartets written by the composer, this is perhaps the one which has the least Spanish features… String Quartet No. 4, in B minor, was premiered by the Cuarteto Francés on February 22nd, 1907, and was dedicated by the composer to “my very dear friend and disciple Manuel Manrique de Lara”. On that evening’s printed program it was mentioned that “Chapí continues with the aesthetic tendency shown on his previous quartets. Without resorting to specific popular forms, the composer manages to give his work a genuinely national character, picturesque and free, dressing his own thoughts with rhythms and procedures of natural and traditional harmonies. The form matches, in general terms, that of a traditional string quartet but, within it, the composer is able to transit with absolute independence, and to present the thematic elements according to his own phantasy and to the whims of his personal temperament.”
