The third album of the Spanish-Argentinean pianist Sebastián Chames, entitled 'Pick up the phone', confirms, in case there was any doubt, what in his two previous works was clearly made clear; his radical and seamless bid for a very classical and orthodox jazz (via hard bop).
The above has several advantages for both the musician and the listener; among them you already know what you can hear more or less, that the level of the musicians will be very high and that everything will sound with an unmistakable flavor of jazz of a lifetime.But that musical bet also has risks, among them, and not less, that we compare the pianist with the wild beasts of the 50's and 60's of the last century; and that if you do not take care that everything ends up sounding like a permanent 'deja vu'.
Sebastián Chames manages, to a large extent, to overcome these dangers, thanks to two very important factors; good compositions, fruit of his knowledge of the terrain in which he moves; and the band that accompanies him, composed of musicians who know and know very well what they have to do. Among those who accompany him we must highlight the work of trumpeter Jeremy Pelt, who already played with Chames on his previous album 'Reconstrucción' (2013); and that of drummer Willie Jones III who was also on that record. And there is nothing like working with well-known musicians and with whom you understand well. If in this jazz you want to be sure to listen to a current album but loaded with classicism, then 'Pick up the phone' is, I dare say, your record. (Translated from Spanish.)
