Previous Pasqua outings featured introspective standards interpretations, but here Pasqua zeroes in on jazz-rock propulsion, with updated electronics bubbling underneath Ambrose Akinmusire’s lucid trumpet and Nels Cline’s artfully messy guitar excursions.
Listeners who love funky jazz will appreciate groove-laden tunes such as appropriately titled “New Rhodes,” aptly enumerated “Wicked Good” and greasy “Fast Food,” where the old school teaches the new school some fresh tricks.
