Limewire has just posted a review of Inventing the Wheel and they seem to have hit the nail right on the head. Check it out: The Jason Domnarski Trio, better known as JDT, is steered
by a Brooklyn-based, twentysomething keyboardist with a penchant for
throwing jazz, rock, and electronics
in a blender and fashioning the results into a constantly shifting,
consistently ear-catching series of sonic shapes. Though the
award-winning Domnarski is well schooled in the jazz verities, like any
true explorer he's done his best to loose the tethers of tradition.
Even when he's working in a relatively straightforward acoustic
piano-trio mode on his third album, Inventing The Wheel, he
gleefully abjures the tropes of bebop harmony, seeking instead to
uncover a new world that exists in between the cracks of genre borders.
One moment, he's offering an impressionistic instrumental version of
Neil Young's "Old Man," the next time you turn around, he's revving up
the electric piano and hip-hop groove inflections for the acid-jazz
tinged "Falling Off the Horse." Before it's all over, Domnarski and
company have employed everything from juicy analog synth lines to big,
stomping, rock-flavored beats, on an album that points not only to how
far jazz has evolved, but how many more possibilities still remain.Not bad, Limewire. JDT
