4 1/2 STARS DOWN BEAT (April 2011)

Matt Bauder is a New York-based associate on Anthony Braxton and Rob Mazurek who has a gift for isolating a musical language, mastering in and then introducing a personalizing twist. He`s done it to doo-wop and the Beach Boys with his combo White Blue Yellow And Clouds, to minimalist process music in a duo with bassist Jason Ajemian and electro-acoustic improvisation with the trio Memorize The Sky. His Quintet Day Pictures zeros in on the modern jazz of a half-century past, with an instrumetal line-up and compositions that echoes classic efforts from Prestige, Columbia and Blue Note catalogs with nary a whiff of condescencion or dabbling. But rather than merely recreate the music of some golden age, Bauder and company use its familiar forms as lauching points for contemporary explorations.
Cleopatra's Mood opens the record with a sumptuous rhythm that reconciles the groove concepts of Horace Silver and Mulatu Astatke and horn charts that a man of a certain age would be happy to to play for his father. But after taking gorgeous, idiomatic solos, Bauder and Wooley weave ribbons of increasingly grainy sound around each other's figures. Bauder runs his signal through a music stand full of delay units, while Wooley is fully conversant in the radical techniques that have transformed trumpeting in the past decade. But neither seems to want to defy their source material. They want to bring it into their time, intact but renewed. - Bill Meyer
