vorgartenich hatte komplett vergessen, wie toll die ist. (und notiz für mich selbst: diesen sehr ínteressanten, hier falschgeschriebenen drummer bobby kapp weiterverfolgen, der ja offensichtlich ende der 90er wieder aufgetaucht ist und aktuell u.a. ein trio mit wyands und perla hat, aber auch mit shipp spielt.)
BOBBY KAPP
Themes for Transmutation
Drummer Bobby Kapp seemed to disappear after the close of the ‘60s; during that decade he worked extensively with saxophonists Marion Brown, Noah Howard and Gato Barbieri. His traipses across the world of improvised music took him to Mexico and into nightclub singing and gigs with Dexter Gordon, before returning to the world of free music in 1999 on a program of duets with Howard (Between Two Eternities, Cadence Jazz Records) that seemed to pick up right where they left off thirty years earlier. While leading the Fine Wine Trio (with bassist Gene Perla and pianist Richard Wyands) and reuniting with other denizens of the 1960s vanguard, Kapp’s ability to lead a band of free players on a recording has been absent from discographies, but that has been given a welcome change by this document of four improvisations joining him with pianist Matthew Shipp, reedist Ras Moshe and bassist Tyler Mitchell.
Kapp doesn’t necessarily approach the date as the sole focal point – indeed, throughout his recorded legacy, his tasteful and inventive drumming has been a carpet for others to ride, and this is certainly true here, using mallets and brushes to spread out time alongside bowed bass and refractive piano shapes alongside Moshe’s buzzing birdsong on “Romance into Love.” Moshe is a player who has internalized a ton of music as a listener and historian, yet engages his axes (tenor, soprano and flute) beholden not to any one school – fleet and caressing at one moment, violent and hackle-raising at the next, but building and stoking his lines with continuity and intelligence. The album’s third piece, “Mystery into Awe,” is a prime example. Shipp, while certainly well known as a leader-composer in his own right, plays to the egalitarian nature of this disc and his motion acts to support and feed the quartet. As a drummer, Kapp should be reinvestigated in terms of his contribution to the history of the music, and hopefully that will start with perhaps the first of numerous contemporary and future appearances as a cooperative bandleader.
