Our Take
Our Take
After multiple listens to Jasper Blom Quartet with Pablo Held's latest offering, "Polyphony 3," it's clear that these jazz virtuosos are not here to play around. Well, they are playing around - but in the best possible way! This album is a delightful blend of intricate melodies, unexpected twists and turns, and some seriously mind-blowing solos.
The quartet's chemistry is undeniable, with each member bringing their A-game to create a cohesive, yet dynamic sound. Blom's saxophone skills shine brightly, weaving in and out of Held's nimble piano playing with effortless precision. The rhythm section holds it all together, providing a solid foundation for the musical gymnastics happening on top.
Tracks like "Rainbow Rhythms" and "Funky Monkey" showcase the group's ability to seamlessly blend complex musical ideas with infectious grooves. It's impossible not to tap your foot or bob your head along to the infectious beats that permeate every track on this album.
"Pablo Plays the Blues" is a standout moment, with Held's piano taking center stage and delivering a soulful, emotive performance that will give you goosebumps. This quartet knows how to tug at your heartstrings while also making you want to get up and dance - a rare and delightful combination.
In short, "Polyphony 3" is a masterclass in modern jazz that is as fun and lively as it is technically impressive. Jasper Blom Quartet with Pablo Held have outdone themselves with this one, and I can't wait to see what they come up with next.
