Robert Aaron - Trouble Man
(CD/Download) Heavenly Sweetness, 2010-04-15
Trouble Man is a journey in jazz as it was lived and defined in the Seventies; no borders, no conventions. Robert Aaron's music, with its range of saxophones and keyboards (piano, Hammond organ, Wurlitzer), has a unique style that is hard to find in this age of mathematical solos. It perpetuates the lyricism of Gato Barbieri (his parents are from Argentina) or Stanley Turrentine, with the intense breath of Pharoah Sanders. When you listen to this album, you experience the profound and now rare feeling of what drives the playing and writing of an exceptional musician. We call it 'soul', that paradoxical state when the profane and the sacred, joy and sorrow merge into one. We hear it less and less in increasingly rational musical recordings because it can only happen when there is a live connection between two hearts.
