Cherry – Sakura is a veritable classic recording by pianist Aki Takase and the
tenor saxophonist and bass clarinetist, David Murray. Through it all, Murray
plays with consummate sensitivity and flair, using his sonorous tone, on both
tenor saxophone and bass clarinet, and a discerning palette of vibrato to
create something vibrantly with Aki Takase. This Swiss performance provides a
healthy taste of both Murray’s and Takase’s superlative artistry. Both are as
commanding in the penetrating thickets of David Murray’s “A Long March to
Freedom” as they are seductive in Aki Takase’s seductive “Cherry–Sakura”. In
Thelonious Monk’s “Let’s Cool One” both bass clarinetist and pianist
demonstrate that they can toss off technical feats with the best of Charlie
Rouse’s and Monk’s. Their collaboration is first-rate and brings commitment and
vitality to all of the programme’s intrepid fare.
