duets between pianist Frank Kimbrough and vibes player Joe Locke
offer plenty of substance and creativity
... a good showcase for two inventive, melody-oriented
players..." —Down Beat (Dec
1999)
- "...absolutely stunning duet performances ... a
striking foray into supremely intuitive interplay and
lush melodicism via charming and bittersweet phraseology coupled
with the duo's sensitivity, compassion and mutual 'musical' respect
for one another ... throughout, Kimbrough and Locke engage their
thoughts and demonstrate uncanny synergy as they delicately
articulate sleek, smooth passages which are at times, somber,
pensive and in many instances, spiritually uplifting.... Saturn's
Child is music of a higher order, a
colossal effort!" —AllAboutJazz.com (Nov
1999)
- "The
more one listens to Saturn's Child, it becomes clear that
the duo is insistent on the sublime, playing with such rich harmonic
sensibilities that the music can turn the listener's face
flush." —Andrew Bartlett, Amazon.Com
- "Frank
Kimbrough and Joe Locke link arms on Saturn's Child, a
stunning duet of piano and vibraphone." —Amazon Delivers (29 Oct 1999)
- "This
CD is also a gloriously reflective, deep
musical journey and I envy any man, woman or child about to embark
on it. Saturn's Child is your walk
through a musical vibe, your very own prized possession and a great
gift of music that draws from many aspirations. These
aspirations, these possibilities all come together beautifully with
Joe Locke on vibraphone and Frank Kimbrough on piano. There
isn't a note played on this CD that doesn't spring from the
reflective mindset that we cherish most ... the inner spirit that
brings us peace and beauty, inspiration and truth. Saturn's
Child is thoughtful, compelling and yet entertaining, bringing
us ever so close to the importance of our intuitive and creative
spirits."—Paula Edelstein, JazzReview.com
- "The
sound is sumptuous and the
playing very musical, though it
seems somehow all of a mood rather than nine different pieces."
—Bill Bennett, JazzTimes
