My number-one favorite jazz piece remains to be “Feels So Good” (1977) by Chuck Mangione. Surprisingly, the second position has been occupied, that quickly, by the track called “El Poeta” from a newly released album, Subtitles (2014), by the now U.S.-based Canadian-Argentinian trumpeter/artist Michael Sarian.
Not only for jazz aficionados but also for anyone who is curious enough to sample a platter of various jazz styles, Sarian’s début album covers an assortment of flavors, from the subtle, short, and simple piano-led pieces “She Said” and “In Circles”; to the unassumingly slow and contemplative yet danceable and engaging “Minga”; and to the typical, noodly yet melodically memorable indulgences of “Todo Pasa.”
The longest track, “Boker Gadol, Lailah Gadol,” is melange of light café-style jazz, Mediterranean souk-buskers’ tunes, and an onslaught of bullfight horn music. “Up, Down, Back Up Again” is appropriately titled, for its mood harks back to the roots of jazz music in the sexy and carefree swing and Big Band era of the 1930s.
