| Don’t be fooled by the title of the latest effort from Metalwood, the groove jazz quartet hailing from Canada. There’s very little about the ten multilayered and exploratory tracks on The Recline that’s laid back or low key. Even in its quieter moments, it’s a free-for-all that’s rooted in the jazz tradition but fearless in its quest to push the improvisational envelope in search of the ultimate jazz groove.
The usual suspects—trumpeter/keyboardist Brad Turner, saxophonist Mike Murley, bassist Chris Tarry and drummer Ian Froman—are all in attendance, but they get some assistance this time from some new friends, and talented ones at that. Guitarist John Scofield lends a hand on four of the tracks—the minimalist "Strollin’," the earnest, R&B flavored "Bumpus," the quirky but upbeat "New Pants" and the unrelenting closer, "Pressure." Percussionist Mino Cinelu also appears on four cuts, usually in tandem with Scofield, but also on the shimmering, churning "Steeplejack." Turntablist DJ Logic adds generous doses of scratch and other sonic accents to "Bumpus" and "New Pants."
