Review of "A Few Dozen"
|
By: David Dorkin
omposer and guitarist Bruce Arnold is back with his second solo album after last year's Blue Eleven. This time out Arnold, along with bassist Ratzo Harris and drummer Tony Moreno, has based his tunes on the 12 tone compositional technique and the results are unforced and give a unique modern flavor to the trio's sound. Arnold is a very sophisticated musician harmonically and avoids being used by the technique and instead uses it to great effect on these pieces. Indeed, many would not even notice the use were it not for Arnold's liner notes, such as on the ballad "Reflection" a lovely modern piece that is unusual in its harmonic source material.
