Fearless Shores
Reviewed by: Susan Frances
Jazz guitarist Richard Hart has devised new concoctions for fusion buffs by developing dynamic interactions of cool jazz elements, hard-bop motifs, smooth funk grooves, and blues-pop stylizing on his fourth studio album Fearless Shores, released by Innervision Records. Recorded and engineered by Mark S. Miller, Hart’s album displays his emotive writing technique and astute arrangement accoutrements. All of his tracks are instrumental murals with Hart on guitar, Ron Munn on alto and tenor saxophone, Dorothy Soto on bass guitar, and Mark Winkel on percussions. more....
Richard Hart Quartet
Fearless Shores
By Butch Berman
I’m
still trying to connect what alerted a Kathleen Hutson to send the Berman Music
Foundation a promo package containing this CD, which—from among countless
others—was picked to review. I knew none of the cats in the group, but
the cover was beautiful…who knows? Nevertheless, this 30-minute excursion
containing nine catchy tunes penned by guitarist-leader Richard Hart just
caught on immediately.
A variety of
grooves and rhythms that cover all the jazz bases seem to lock you in, and the
ride is most enjoyable. Like the great Jerry Seinfeld series, a show about
“nothing” that said something, “
Fearless
Shores
”
conveys simple tunes played flawlessly with beauty, truth and spirit
throughout, with an almost addictive infectiousness that returns this CD to
your player on a regular basis. These players are saying a mouthful without
having to yell.
You could
dig these sounds for a wide assortment of practicalities, such as learning how
to dance, housekeeping, Ping-Pong, making love, or just enjoying a nice cabernet,
sittin’ back and diggin’ it, man.
The quintet
consists of Mr. Hart on guitar, Ron Munn on sax, Dorothy Soto on bass and,
holding down the big beat behind it all, drummer Mark Winkel—truly your
complete, tight unit. It’s the perfect bar band, but jazzy enough for the
purists. Solid production work from Sonic Wings Recording Services’ Mark
S. Miller, too.
Go out and
find this lil’ gem pronto.
