Beautiful music.......2005-07-25

I met David at the Herndon wine festival last year in 2004. He was playing his new album 5,000 Words. I didn't really come to hear David Bach. I had never heard of him before. As I was walking around doing the wine tasting I was struck by how amazing the music was coming from the opposite side of the festival. It didn't take me long figure out how special David Bach and his band were. Breathtaking musicianship and composition. I purchased the CD and had David sign it for me. He thanked me for enjoying the music and I told him I tought he sounded like a blend of Happy The Man, Weather Report, Jan Hammer, Chick Corea all tosssed together with his own special seasoning. David is one of the finest artist I have ever heard and he deserves our full attention.

david bach's 5thousand Words
(Integrity Music)
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it". These wise words surely must have been
David Bach's mantra while writing and recording this, his second CD as a
bandleader. Using the same core group of musicians from his previous
release, Window on the West (augmented by a few key players), David has
delivered an emotionally charged collection which blurs the lines between
new age and soft jazz.
Compositionally, songs like "Passion Play" and "Between the World" are
strong examples of effective theme development. The main melodic figure of
"Passion Play" modulates near the 2-minute mark and provides just enough
tension to command attention, even at low volume levels. "Between the World"
teeters between minor and major tonalities without sounding fragmented or
too "fusion-y". In the song's outro, David's synth solo brings to mind Keith
Emersons's use of portamento on his "Fanfare For The Common Man" solo.

David's decision to fade out during the solo after a few measures was a show
of good taste and ego restraint.
Elsewhere, David displays his knack for tasteful arrangements in several
ways: His elegant usage of different keyboard flavors, namely alternating
grand piano and Fender Rhodes within a song, offers subtle organic contrasts
that add spice while suggesting a breadth of fresh influence; and by
maintaining a large palette of instrumental colors, he is able to underscore
a melodic line, such as the main line in "Seventh Sun" which uses sax to
double the piano's dominant melody. Rounding out the performances on the
disk, fretless guru Jimmy Charlsen takes an understated solo on "Between the
World" and contributes to the CD's overall cosmopolitan aura. Drummer Frank
Young makes a guest appearance on "Seventh Sun" and his approach is a nice
contrast from the equally fine playing of JuJu House, who handled the bulk
of the drumming. Longtime Bach affiliates Andy Shriver and Stan Whitaker turned in nice, textural guitar parts. And we certainly can't forget about good 'ole Frank Marchand whose world-class knob-twiddling makes 5thousand Words feel right at home in the CD changer next to anything Windham Hill or GRP for that matter, have ever released. Congrats to David and cohorts on an exemplary glimpse into yet another of their many windows....
