Like all great saxists in history, Joe Lovano is turning into a roaring lion during the latter years of his long life. This latest album, a trio with pianist Marilyn Crispell and drummer Carmen Castaldi, is almost a tribute to the great tenor fogs of Ben Webster and Stan Getz, with Lovano blowing blue smoke rings throughout on his tenor, and giving passionate sighs on his soprano and exotic tarogato. Playing the mystical reed alongside his gong, he and the team reach the inner sanctum on “Zen Like”, while creating a hovering mist on “Treasured Moments”. With Crispell’s Bill Evansy touch, Lovano sighs on the tenor to “Night Creatures”, is languid in dream to her delicate ivories on “Chapel Song” and is meditative in high and low range to Castaldi’s flickering candles of guidance on “Sacred Chant”, breezing like a spring wind on the warm and reassuring “West of the Moon”. This is the type of music that can only be played by a man who has not only learned to play, but through wisdom, has learned what not to play.
