One of the underservedly overlooked post bopping pianists has to be Renee Rosnes. You can’t blame her, as she’s put out some excellent work, siding along Joe Henderson or Ron Carter working with the SFJAZZ Collective and creating an impressive catalogue of her own. Here, she plays piano and keyboards with a top notch team of Chris Potter/ts-ss-bcl, Christian McBride/b, Carl Allen/dr and Rogerio Boccato/perc on nine sophisticated originals, with each song creating a thoughtful mood. McBride and Allen get a tribal groove for the concrete jungle of Potter’s tenor for “Silk” while the rhythm team allows the leader to develop some rich chords and thoughts alongside Potter’s sublime soprano for “Kinds of Love”. Rosnes’ keyboards are artsy as she forms a rain forest atmosphere on “In Time Like Air”, developing various bird calls and tweets. The team shows the bop chops on “Golden Triangle” and the V8 engine of “Swoop,” with some whimsical classical musings by the composer as she introduces her “Passing Jupiter” before allowing Potter’s bass clarinet and McBride’s bass to delve into space travel drama. Speaking of McBride, he is a force on his bowed bass solo, veering around Rosnes on the reflective “Evermore”. If this team gets the green light to travel, look hard and wide for them.
