Album Notes
All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology.Though the official line on alto saxophonist Arthur Blythe is that his later work doesn't match the '70s recordings which made his name, one listen to 1998's NIGHT SONG proves that this couldn't be further from the truth. Drawing from the same sort of world music influences as trumpeter Jon Hassell--but without the inertia which dogs most of Hassell's recordings--Blythe is that rarity, a saxophonist whose free-jazz roots show proudly without interfering too much with the calmer direction he's pursuing now. There's a South American vibe to most of NIGHT SONG, most especially on the title track, two versions of which bookend the other 10 songs. Even songs with America-centric titles like "The Sorrows of Sonny Liston" are set to hypnotic beats. Blythe plays with both skill and passion throughout; he spends the album dancing on the fine line between Ornette Coleman and the Buena Vista Social Club.

...Blythe fans will want to search this CD out...those not familiar with this protean altoist need only give a listen...to become devotees.

4 stars (out of 5) - ...a disc that draws on international folk idioms while avoiding world-music cliches....NIGHT SONG also presents Blythe's uncanny lighthearted approach to jazz standards...
