************************************************************************************************ Rezension: Bassist Harish Raghavan war bereits beim letzten fabelhaften Album des texanischen Saxophonisten dabei – aber auch die anderen drei Protagonisten haben mit Walter Smith etwas gemein ("in common"). Vor allem die entspannte Lässigkeit beim Improvisieren, auch die vollständige Abwesenheit von Selbstinszenierung. Wir sind hier Zeuge einer hochinspirierten Post Bop-Session, die Musik – von einer wunderbaren Version von Geri Allens "Unconditional Love" abgesehen – entstand komplett on the spot. Vor allem Gitarrist Matthew Stevens erweist sich als Seelenverwandter, ein idealer Partner für Smiths trockenen, wie beiläufigen Saxophonton (der freilich bei Bedarf jederzeit zu Höhenflügen fähig ist). Sicherlich ist dies intellektuelle Musik – aber im Gegensatz zu so vielen zeitgenössischen Jazzproduktionen hört man hier auch eine Spielfreude und Spontaneität, die an die Glanzzeit des Blue Note-Labels denken läßt. – Vinyl ist sehr limitiert! (2018) ************************************************************************************************ In Europa ist er noch relativ unbekannt, doch in den Staaten zählt der 1980 in Houston geborene Saxofonist und Komponist Walter Smith III schon zu den absoluten Jazzgrößen. Dieses Jahr veröffentlichte er bei Whirlwind bereits das Neuinterpretationen bekannter Jazztitel gewidmete Album »Twio«; nun schiebt er zusammen mit vier weiteren Musikern unter dem Projektnamen In Common ein gleichnamiges Werk nach. An seiner Seite hören wir den kanadischen Gitarristen Matthew Stevens, den Jazzfans ebenfalls schon von Veröffentlichungen bei Whirlwind kennen, sowie Joel Ross (Vibraphon), Harish Raghavan (Bass) und Marcus Gilmore (Schlagzeug). In Common war von Anfang an als informelle Kollaboration gedacht, um instinktiv miteinander zu improvisieren und lebendige, im Hier und Jetzt verankerte Nummern zu kreieren. »Part of the basis for the project was to write relatively simple music«, erläutert Walter Smith III das Konzept. Und das hatte für alle fünf, technisch höchst versierten Musiker eine befreiende Wirkung: »The idea of simplicity downplayed individual ownership which was liberating.« Das Resultat ist allerfeinster Free Jazz. Rezensionen »Die Musik der Scheibe ist eingängig, ohne je simpel zu wirken.« (Stereo, Februar 2019) ************************************************************************************************** Description The moment when spontaneity and technical expertise coalesce into a decidedly different soundscape is captured convincingly in this eponymous debut release from In Common. Behind that veiled moniker are the prominent names of tenor saxophonist Walter Smith III and guitarist Matthew Stevens – and together with vibraphonist Joel Ross, bassist Harish Raghavan and drummer Marcus Gilmore, they fashion striking improvisations from original compositional foundations. "Walter and I had been talking about putting a recording session together" explains Stevens, "and decided to go into the studio with music that could be quickly interpreted with an interesting group of musicians and to let it unfold naturally from there." The resulting sessions yielded an unaffected and dynamic recording by a group of peers sharing a mutual musical vocabulary. "Part of the basis for the project was to write relatively simple music," says Smith. "The idea of simplicity downplayed individual ownership which was liberating." The outcome is a collection of succinct, in-the-moment canvases that exhibit an engaging contemporary style. Preceded by "Freefive," an improvised piece that captures the intangible moments that can arise between improvisers, Stevens' "Unsung" celebrates the overlooked in our society in a poignant song illuminated by Ross's vibes. "YINZ" – Pittsburgh's version of ‘y'all' - allows plenty of ducking and diving; and levitational "Foreword" centers around a rich duet between Smith and Ross. The offbeat, almost Bachian ground of "ACE" becomes filled out by Smith's rich tenor, while "Baron" is buoyed by syncopated drums and lush, animated guitar. Mysteriously striding "13th Floor" contrasts with breezy "About 360" and in tribute to the late Geri Allen, her "Unconditional Love" is elegantly painted in new light. The success of In Common's informal collaboration is in creating a work that is unmistakeably alive and instinctive. ************************************************************************************************* Recorded at the Clubhouse in Rhinebeck, NY December, 2017 Engineered by Paul Antonell Assistant Engineer - Heather Tobias Mixing Engineer - Kyle Hoffmann Produced by Walter Smith III and Matthew Stevens Executive Producer - Michael Janisch Walter Smith III is pretty happy and totally exclusive with Vandoren Reeds and Fred Lebayle Mouthpieces.

PRESS HIGHLIGHTS "In Common conveys the shape and feel of traditional jazz while remaining harmonically untethered and melodically free... The best of both worlds." ★★★★1/2 DownBeat Magazine "An excellent debut for the quintet and a follow-up should be eagerly anticipated." ★★★★ All About Jazz "An inventive workout for a classy, likeminded and broadminded outfit." Jazzwise Magazine "An unaffected and dynamic recording of succinct, in-the-moment canvases that exhibit an engaging contemporary style." Jazziz "An album with a clean and pure quality to it... A treat to be so simply satisfying." Nextbop "Subtle, cool and laid back... Gentle explorations executed without bravura but with no lack of technique." Bebop Spoken Here "The part composed, part improvised statements of “In Common” speak succinctly and elegantly... The music is full of excellent ideas and some frequently wonderful playing." ★★★★ The Jazz Mann "The hyperfluency among these players is never exploited for flash, or mistaken for the main point. It’s simply a means to more lyrical ends, and folded into a model of interplay that suits the name of the band." WGBO "Striking improvisations from original compositional foundations... The success of In Common's informal collaboration is in creating a work that is unmistakably alive and instinctive." Drumhead Magazine "A most pleasing listen." Citizen Jazz "Matthew Stevens alternates between giving the greatest backing on the guitar and taking the lead without running out too far ahead seemingly from moment to moment. Walter Smith III ties all of this together on the saxophone, providing sweetness that makes this album sing." Nextbop "Rich conversations and dialogues." Jazz Weekly "On 'ACE', Stevens’ ultra-minimal, rock-steady guitar work, over Gilmore and Raghavan’s slowly thwacking beat, allow Smith and Ross to take beautifully expressive solos and also respond to each other in an extremely empathetic and collaborative manner." Stereogum "An outstanding release of modern jazz that shows that progressive musical ideas don’t have to come at the cost of listenability." Jazz Views "Impressive improvisations from their original compositions... that moment when spontaneity and technical mastery merge into a singular soundscape is captured convincingly in the eponymous album of "In Common"." France Musique "A journey into a rich and intelligent musical universe." ICI Musique “A palpably collective expression of living in the moment and making music accordingly with each musician stepping in and out of the limelight to take a solo and a proverbial bow before receding into the ensemble thereafter.” JazzdaGama “Smith and Stevens set the style of the sound... A delightful duo.” Jazzma “Five very talented musicians whose special chemistry allows them to hear each others great qualitieswithin complete musical harmony...” Written in Music “These (works) are, in sum, sincere and poised accounts of musicianship, a tribute to the faultless character of each individual who contributes in spades to this group as a whole.” JazzdaGama “Sensitive and aware music by perceptive and attentive jazz artists who can produce insightfully full music. “ ★★★★ Audiophile Edition "A intense, playful, contemporary jazz album with a fine cast who all have something to say... immensely enjoyable.” ★★★★ Drums & Percussion “A remarkable debut.” Jazz 'n' More “Stylistically oriented in jazz history, from hard bop to fusion elements, through free design to romantic a successful merger delivered with dramlike security.” Musik an sich “A harmonic flow of spontaneity and technical expertise.” ★★★★ Stereo **************************************************************************************************
