Gato Barbieri - Standards: Lost And Found 2 - "Gives me the chills! I feel as though Gato has never left us..." Laura Barbieri, wife of Gato Barbieri - Standards Lost and Found (Volume 2) hosts two compositions by Ornette Coleman (Jayne and When Will The Blues Leave?) a clear homage to the composer, father of free jazz, and an overt demonstration of musical intent and fundamental aesthetic reference. Charlie Parker's Anthropology is respectfully dedicated to a new interpretation of the more recent jazz tradition from which the four musicians descend, as are the two compositions by Thelonious Monk: 'Round Midnight and Epistrophy, which, along with Jamal's fresh New Rhumba however, testify to an already much-transformed tradition. Gato's In Search of the Mystery and Gato Blues fit perfectly into the set list and reflect the significant role of the Argentine tenor player who in this way places his compositional signature on the record. Jayne is from Coleman's first album Something Else!!!! from 1958. Anthropology explodes at a tempo of 140 bpm in cut time and the virtuoso exposition of the melody showcases Gato's high technical ability and precise timing. The moment his solo starts Gato gives the impression of a saxophonist who could easily play on all the chord changes using the be-bop language, but deliberately decides not to. New Rhumba was composed and recorded by pianist Ahmad Jamal when he was only 25 years old and had already matured a thoroughly personal style. 'Round Midnight, Thelonious Monk's celebrated ballad from the early 1940s, is included as a tribute to the great pianist, but certainly also because of the extreme beauty of the melody that Gato tackles with no special elaboration while hinting at flickers of high notes and always using a full, harsh sound. Gato Blues bears Barbieri's signature.
