Bassist Mario Pavone was a crucial fixture on New York’s post-bop and free jazz
scenes, a rhythmic monster that routinely attracted superb players in his
bands. He died on 15 May at 80 following a long battle with cancer, but the
disease didn’t diminish his wherewithal enough to arrange for this searing live
date in late March, as he knew his life was winding down. Joined by pianist
Matt Mitchell and drummer Tyshawn Sorey with special guest trumpeter Dave
Ballou, he carried on with his work, using his full-bodied tone and unerring
time to anchor muscular yet agile grooves and sturdy melodic schemes, nothing
more, nothing less, as he lived his work for decades. His direct themes take
hold and allow for copious exploration without ever relinquishing a buzzing
energy and pulsing clarity. There’s something profound that his final statement
was a simple affirmation of his life’s work.
