Something Blue - Personal Preference
Marc Free produced the second edition of Something Blue to encourage "a wider audience of new listeners" to jazz by presenting "a focused program of concise performances to provide maximum enjoyment." These goals are congruent with Free's trust in his artists. The eleven tracks of Personal Preference do not smack of compromise or a nebulous artistic focus. Free has assembled a band of players with ties to the label who boldly stride through the bop/hard bop/post-bop continuum, utilizing elements from these branches as points of departure to their visions and designs.
Collectively and individually, Something Blue does many things very well. There are articulate, engaging compositions penned by each member of the sextet. At the risk of snubbing other admirable tunes, two of pianist Misha Tsiganov's merit special attention: "Seely Street Song" for its splendor amid changing time signatures, and the enchanting "Waltz For Olena," which extends beyond expected, conventional length.
