…Razin's "Jazz, Please" has a nifty swing and sees its composer making like a trumpet vocally, contrasting sharply with Komova's bolder, Jeanne Lee-like trills. Here, Razin alternates between a spare Monk-like approach and peeling off runs like he's at the Keith Jarrett Speedway (with a J.S. Bach pitstop). The Light is remarkable for its conciseness—while there's plenty of "space" there's none of the self-indulgent dribble-plink-squee meandering that plagues some free-improv sessions. Verdict: Rudd is his usual boss self and these Second Approaches deserve to be more widely heard.
