Over the past fifteen years, saxophonist Efraïm Trujillo and pianist Rembrandt Frerichs have become renowned as leading musicians. They regularly encountered each other in various settings, but they never managed to get a new project off the ground together. During the corona crisis they performed as an occasional duo at the Bimhuis and their performance of Horace Silver's composition 'Peace' in particular received extremely enthusiastic reactions. This piece has therefore been included on their fresh CD and expanded with recent recordings made in Trujillo's Studio Theemsweg. Poetic “The Standards Collection Vol. 1' is the appropriate name of their album: a production filled with more and less known repertoire. The well-known 'Blue in Green', which starts, is given a glowing performance.
In his piano solo Frerichs refers to the great innovator Lennie Tristano (1919-1978). This is followed by the rhythmic 'Voyage' by pianist Kenny Barron and Silver's 'Peace', recorded at the Bimhuis. This last exercise is also now a highlight, with poetic play by Trujillo and Frerichs. Funky Their performance of Wayne Shorter's 'Prince of Darkness' provides a completely different groove, a lyrical composition that seems to gain depth in this intimate configuration.
A nice contrast is the almost funky version of 'Think of One' by Thelonious Monk, in which Frerichs supports Trujillo's playing with beautiful bass lines. Their interpretation of Ellington's gospel 'Come Sunday' is almost religious in character, again interspersed with a rhythmic piece: Victor Feldman's 'Steven Steps to Heaven'. Spicy Nice and fat is their performance of the swing classic 'Stompin' at the Savoy', a piece to sit back comfortably that can of course count on a contemporary twist with an excellent Trujillo in the lead role. Almost naturally, this special album ends with a piece by the grand master of the current jazz piano: Herbie Hancock. His classic 'One Finger Snap' can count on a spicy approach from this fantastic duo. We can already look forward to 'The Standard Collection Vol. 2'!Translate By Google http://www.jazzenzo.nl/?e=4990
