REVIEW:
Archaeopteryx
four star review / WEEKEND AUSTRALIAN REVIEW/ ARTS , JAN 28, 29 2001.
The harp may seem an incongruous addition to a Jazz ensemble,
but once this recording begins , such preconceptions cease to be an issue .
Melbourne band led by Diane Peters on harp and vocals, eschews dazzling solos packed with bravado in favour of sensitive interaction between the musicians. The compositions unfold effortlessly with a nod to Dave Holland and Kenny Wheeler, and peter's predominantly lyric-less vocals soar in the same space as Norma Winstone's. Saxophonist Ben Carr drives the tunes ahead with the help of inventive trombonist James Wilkinson, before unleashing the inspired flourishes of Peters' harp. Intelligently concieved, delicately arranged and deliciously executed, Archaeopteryx is a thoughtful and satisfying statement worth hearing.
