The Village Vanguard is a sacred place. A sort of jazz Mecca which has borne witness to all the genre's greats. The New York club of legend is not, however, anything special in itself: its aura is more to do with the spirits that haunt the air there, rather than its architecture or its acoustics, which are actually pretty ordinary. It is this spirit which seems to have inspired Ambrose Akinmusire. With his faithful companions pianist Sam Harris, bassist Harish Raghavan and drummer Justin Brown, the Californian trumpet player has given himself over as never before for A Rift In Decorum: Live At The Village Vanguard which takes its inspiration from the mysticism which surrounds the Vanguard. "It’s like I’m being bear-hugged by the spirits in there, he explains. Especially in a time like now, it’s great to have a place that still exists in the way that it originally existed." As on his last two (studio) albums for the label Blue Note, When the Heart Emerges Glistening in 2011 and, three years later, The Imagined Savior is Far Easier to Paint, Akinmusire's compositions blossom with beauty and complexity. The trumpeter dares to take detours, shimmering like a stream. For this live album, the quartet takes on fourteen new compositions whose richness is maddening. And every theme, like every improvisation; every exchange, like every silence, gives way to an instant of grace... The 2007 Laureate of the Thelonious Monk Institute International Jazz Competition, Ambrose Akinmusire also gives notice that a jazz trumpeter in 2017 isn't limited to only look to the deathless Miles/Chet duo for inspiration, and that other players (Kenny Dorham?) inspire him just as much. The recording of this concert shows us the work of a real quartet: and not just the folly of an egotistical bandleader. Here is a live performance that will count for some time to come: it certainly counts for a lot already. © MZ/Qobuz

Album review

The Village Vanguard is a sacred place. A sort of jazz Mecca which has borne witness to all the genre's greats. The New York club of legend is not, however, anything special in itself: its aura is more to do with the spirits that haunt the air there, rather than its architecture or its acoustics, which are actually pretty ordinary. It is this spirit which seems to have inspired Ambrose Akinmusire. With his faithful companions pianist Sam Harris, bassist Harish Raghavan and drummer Justin Brown, the Californian trumpet player has given himself over as never before for A Rift In Decorum: Live At The Village Vanguard which takes its inspiration from the mysticism which surrounds the Vanguard. "It’s like I’m being bear-hugged by the spirits in there, he explains. Especially in a time like now, it’s great to have a place that still exists in the way that it originally existed." As on his last two (studio) albums for the label Blue Note, When the Heart Emerges Glistening in 2011 and, three years later, The Imagined Savior is Far Easier to Paint, Akinmusire's compositions blossom with beauty and complexity.
