"Roy Campbell is a very flexible jazzman; depending on what a particular situation calls for, he can either get into outside and avant-garde playing or stick to swinging, straight-ahead hard bop and post-bop. The trumpeter/flügelhornist's post-bop side prevails on his second Delmark session as a leader, La Tierra del Fuego, which was recorded in 1993 but sounds like it could have been recorded for Blue Note 30 years earlier. Campbell doesn't get into dissonant outside playing on this rewarding sophomore effort, which recalls the modal post-bop albums that Booker Little, Freddie Hubbard, and Lee Morgan provided for Blue Note in the 1960s. Thankfully, Campbell has sympathetic and insightful company; the noteworthy soloists include, among others, Zane Massey on tenor sax, Ricardo Strobert on alto sax and flute, Klass Hekman on bass sax, and Rahn Burton on piano. In Spanish, La Tierra del Fuego means The Land of Fire, and Campbell brings plenty of fire and passion to this consistently inspired CD." (Allmusic)
Matthew Shipp is 9 februari 2009 te gast bij JazzPodium Drienerlo (JPD) in de Vrijhof, Enschede. Dit album is 'album pick' uit het oeuvre van deze avant garde-pianist op Allmusic: "With his unique and recognizable style, pianist Matthew Shipp creates music in which free jazz and modern classical intertwine. On this rich and moving album, Shipp is joined by trumpeter and flugelhorn player Roy Campbell, leading bassist William Parker, and drummer Gerald Cleaver. The album doesn't lose momentum from the dramatic opener, "Gesture," through the solo piano exposition -- the shortest number and closer -- "XTU." While Matthew Shipp has come out with numerous releases these past several years, resulting in a slightly overwhelming catalogue, "Pastoral Composure" is a necessary listen for fans. It is also one of Shipp's more accessible albums, making it great place to start for those interested in checking out this important modern jazz pianist." (Joslyn Layne, Allmusic)
