Unlike anything else you're likely to encounter.......2003-01-05
Take Steve Beresford, for example. Founding member of the Melody Four (which, oddly, contained only three members, himself, Lol Coxhill, and Tony Coe), practitioneer of a highly manered musical sensibility residing somewhere between jazz and nostalgic popular music, avant weirdo--not someone I'd ordinarily look to to produce accessible jazz--he has come up with a musical esthetic that is at once unique and listenable in his two CUE SHEETS discs.
The second one strikes me as the better of the lot. Especially the first cut, "Soul Patrol," will resonate easily with any number of listeners: pop afficionados, jazz esthetes, classical refugees looking for something a little bit more exciting than the latest regurgitation of Mozart's "Eine Kleine Nachtmusic," disaffected Celene Dion boosters, Falco Jimenez devotees, stranded in some Tex-Mex Purgatory.
But it doesn't stop there. Astonishingly, each subsequent cut stakes out magical new territory, wafting the listener into some world-jazz esthetic uniquely the product of Mr. Beresford's teeming imagingation, touching on such musical vistas as East Indian ("Sari and Trainers"), avant-New Age ("Paris, Brixton"), New Music ("Watermark," featuring Hans Reichel on his own invented instrument, the daxaphone, my personal favorite), and jazz-elegiac ("Going Going," a minute and 13 seconds of pure magic).
It seems that the edges of musics is where the real thing is happening: And that is certainly so with this marvelous and revelatory disc.
