“Second Cycle” Review by “Tom Greenland” www.nycjazzrecord.com

MELISSA ALDANA — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 21:35:14 +0000

First Review! I hope to see you December 6th at Smalls! 9:30

“Santiago-born tenor saxist Melissa Aldana’s Second Cycle, her sophomore release on Greg Osby’s Inner Circle label, is a piano-less quartet outing that gives the young (mid 20s) lioness ample freedom (and responsibility) to display a musical maturity well beyond her years. Beginning her solos unassumingly, coloring notes with subtle pitch variations and vibrato, her ‘stories’ develop with an unerring narrative logic, often built on morphing motifs and shifting sequences that wend and weave to unexpected places, inviting interaction through pregnant pauses even as they build density and intensity. The unforced dazzle of “Free Fall”, the two-minute soliloquy opening “My Own World”, her peppery exchanges with trumpeter Gordon Au on “Polyphemus” and the architectonic elegance of her solo on “I’ Seeing ll Be You” all attest to a romantic and highly intelligent musical personality. Bassist Joseph Lepore and drummer Ross Pederson provide synchronicity and inspiration.”
