“Cheese Cake” (Dexter Gordon) plays. The timbre is that of a tenor saxophone. I wonder to the producer and oh surprise, it's an alto sax! He gave it to me with cheese! I scrutinize criticism and verify that qualified critics also succumbed to his fraud. I reconcile myself to my self-esteem and reaffirm my admiration for Baevsky. Dmitry's sound is warm, thick, dark, with a strong presence and a timbre full of harmonics. In the present work, he has chosen a varied bunch of standards that go a long way with his style. It begins with Somethin 'Special, (Sonny Clark), playing the lie with the timbre of his sax, and with the structure of the theme that begins as a minor blues, to surprise us with an interlude to a ternary rhythm. Piano, drums and double bass talk loquaciously on the song.
It follows a mid-time swing with Fools rush in, (Mercer-Bloom), with a livelier and more cheerful tone and phrasing, in keeping with the title of the song.In the following Cheesecake cut, perfectly installed in the language of Dexter Gordon, Dmitry offers us a masterful version, without abandoning the Gordonian wave but using his own arguments. A great Fabio Miano solo and a few bars alternating between breaks and stubbornness lead to a great Joe Strasser drum solo. The fourth track lowers the rhythmic tension, not the emotional one, with a sense of Lament (JJ Johnson), where Baevsky shows his sensitivity and delicacy by threading this beautiful ballad note by note.
In fifth place appears Eclypso (Tommy Flannagan), a calypso, to tone the mood. The piano takes the voice to deliver the witness to the sax. Baevsky's agile phrasing, halfway between hard and Latin, invites the participation of double bass and percussion, which makes it clear that no rhythm is alien to him. Once on, why stop! Dmitry seems to propose with The end of a love affair (Edward Redding) in sixth place, with a final Latin nod. In seventh and last place appears I thougt about you (Jimmy Van Heusen). The song debuts as a ballad floating between undertones, but mutates into a mid-time swing with fresh and fluid phrasing, inviting you to participate in the conversation at the piano and double bass. In conclusion, a great album by a great sax virtuoso ... alto? Yes, stop, accompanied by great performers.
