- Mal Waldron ~ The Call

-The title track begins with an almost Booker T bluesy riff initiated by Jackson, then Weber, then Braceful. Waldron enters with four widely-fingered chords that seem to both compliment and argue with the opening riff before, just as the whole thing starts to become recognisable, everyone appears to fly off into their own stratosphere. The sound is hard to define: although these are mostly "jazz" musicians (inverted commas intentional), the vibe is more akin to European space rock than anything else. But fusion of the Weather Report or Return To Forever ilk this most certainly ain't. The simultaneous soloing, with Jackson particularly impressive, continues for a good ten minutes but always holds the interest because of the sheer fun these guys seem to be having making this unholy racket. Then, things calm a little, and everyone gets an individual spotlight. Weber's solo especially stands out as a triumph of inspiration and subtlety, making you wish he'd strayed more often into rock territory than his somewhat elitist chosen field. Finally, two minutes from the end (and after a drum solo that miraculously avoids tedium) that opening riff returns and the side ends. And I feel, well, just satisfied, and ever so slightly high.
