 It Ain't Necessarily So |
| Mine |
 |
| Songs – with or without lyrics – being no less than stories, and the
best songs
of George (and frequently Ira) Gershwin being stories of the first
order, any
number of these exhilarating moments are to be heard on this disc, a
result
of the material (Gershwin’s) inspiring the imagination of the
improviser,
Ran Blake. Blake’s art is wholly a product of his acute attention (to
the stories,
images, and utterances of his imagination) and integrity (in the
formal process
of making music, spontaneously). Even with songs as familiar as
Gershwin’s,
so ingrained in our hearts and our history, we can be surprised by the
possibilities of expression which Blake (and Ricky Ford, and Steve
Lacy) offers
us, precisely because of his rejection of the familiar, the literal,
the expected,
the commonly intended. So stark, evocative, and eloquent is his music
that it
does sometimes seem that what he is doing is giving shape to smoke in
the air.
