Reviews

In his third appearance in the Clean Feed catalogue, Portuguese pianist and composer Júlio Resende confirms his love for the song format – You Taste Like a Song is a compromise between poetry and guts, combining beatiful, lyrical melodies, groovy rhythms and red hot improvisations. After Da Alma and Assim Falava Jazzatustra there's no more doubts about the consistency, and the exquisite personality, of his musical world, represented here not only by Júlio's compositions, but also by his own versions of two very special songs, Airbag, a pearl created by the pop-rock band Radiohead, and Thelonious Monk's Straight No Chaser, considered today a noble jazz standard.These choices are of symbolic importance, considering the musician's commitment to bring back that music idiom we call jazz to the centre of popular music. In doing so, proposing us a project which is, simultaneously, accessible and inteligent, agreable and defying. With something new to offer: this time, Júlio Resende fronts his trio, with the phenomenal Norwegian contrabassist Ole Morten Vagan and portuguese wonder drummer Joel Silva. Bruno Pedroso (drums on 3), and João Custódio (double bass on 8) also contribute to the record. And yes, you can expect to find here adapted extensions of some of the aspects introduced by Bill Evans with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian, and by Keith Jarrett with Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette but Resende also contribute with his outrageous melodic sense as part of the expansion of the piano trio language. ~ Clean Feed
His latest, You Taste Like A Song, is a piece of sheer brilliance. It's a trio session with members he's performed with on his previous albums - this time featuring two sets of trio on selected tracks. Opening strong with the melodic ballad, Silenciso-For The Fado, Resende shows his classical skills have not drifted into the background. His playing is beautiful and his bandmates improvise between the lines creating a very atmospheric nature to the piece. The titled track is upbeat in a more Northern European pattern but you can feel Resende's youthful rock influences (which later come out on an interesting version of Radiohead's Airbag) as the group touches off a cascade of rhythms and beats that might leave you toe-tapping by the end.
Improvisacao (Call It Whatever) charges through with imagination and a clear sense of unity. Each member has some stellar improvised moments in addition to some terrific dual interaction and solo pieces (especially Vagan). Improvisacao shows the growth of Resende on the creative front. I felt like I was listening Jason Moran or Kris Davis at certain points. Resende really delivers with an astounding version of Thelonious Monk's Straight No Chaser, Led by some unique drumming from Silva. A muffled effect on the drums gives them a distance and depth that is haunting. Resende's performance is sublime. It's not the usual keys you'd expect for a cover of Monk's material and that makes it a huge standout for me. Exquisite stuff from the young pianist.
You Taste Like A Song could be the album that sees Julio Resende arrive on the global radar for many jazz fans this year. It's well balanced and he demonstrates a creativity and enjoyment that you might not hear all year. I've discussed a lot of pianists over the last month. Not sure how that happened, but anyway... Julio Resende is one that I believe if you need something different in your jazz catalogue right now, You Taste Like A Song is the album to purchase. Highly Recommended. ~ jazzwrap
The trio has alternating bassists and drummers and they all do good yeoman's service accompanying and abetting Julio's improvisations, getting space of their own as well. The original pieces have something musical to grab onto virtually all the time and Resende plays like he means it.
There's a hint of mid-period Jarrett in terms of brightness, but not enough to say that he is a disciple. It's Julio's own way that comes to the fore on the CD. The title cut is especially attractive, with a fairly up bossa-rock feel and a kind of luminescent chordal melodic progression that enchants the senses.
There are some effective acoustic funk-rock trio forays, more helpings of balladic charm, moments of Bley-like freedom and use of trio space, a little of the Guaraldi-Jarrett gospel chordings, and plenty of different feels to keep the soul in a zone that rubs on one's musical concentration like Alladin on the magic lamp. And the CD closes with Monk's “Straight No Chaser in a very personal sort of version.
It's another good one from Cleen Feed. It's a very good one for Julio Resende. Modern piano trio nuts should find plenty to crack here. ~ Grego Edwards

Жулио Резенде - португальский пианист и композитор новой волны. Родился в городе Фару, начал играть на пианино с четырех лет, закончил консерваторию Maria Campina (где его преподавателем была россиянка - профессор Оксана Аникеева). Однако интерпретация музыки, без возможности импровизировать, привела Жулио в джаз. Он переехал в Лиссабон, где брал уроки у Марио Лагиньи и саксофониста Педро Морейры, который был музыкальным директором самого известного в стране джазового клуба Hot Club. В 2003 году этот клуб при содействии Министерства культуры Португалии затеял проект по сбору Первого Национального молодежного биг-бэнда, призванного объединить лучших молодых музыкантов (до 30 лет). Резенде был принят в этот оркестр, который в 2005-ом назвали лучшим среди подобных коллективов на международном фестивале в Сент-Луисе. В то же время пианист продолжал свое джазовое образование (в том числе год в Париже, у Лилиан Дерик из Bill Evans Academy), а в 2006 году получил диплом по философии Лиссабонского университета. Год спустя Жулио Резенде записал свой первый диск Da Alma (Clean Feed), став при этом самым молодым музыкантом, записавшим лидерский альбом, за всю историю этого престижного лейбла. Пластинка получила прекрасную прессу как в Португалии, так и за ее пределами. Резенде сравнивали то с Джарретом, то со Свенссоном, и музыкант подтвердил высокую репутацию выпустив Assim Falava Jazzatustra (2009). Кроме этого, он работал с Omer Avital, Aaron Goldberg, Carlos Bica, Carlos Barretto, Maria Viana, Matt Penman, Jonathan Kreisberg и др.Блестящий пианист!
