Review

Brand New World is rife with the sound of a 24-year old saxophonist bursting out of the gate with an incisively sharp, mostly straight-ahead debut. Greene recalls Dexter Gordon and Jackie McLean with an acrid, slightly nasal tone and phrases stitched of angular note clusters. More vibrant on tenor than soprano and more compelling on uptempo numbers than ballads, Greene possesses an already auspicious talent that hasn't come close to its potential. Among Greene's six New York-scene peers on Brand New World, pianist Aaron Goldberg (whose Turning Point made a strong showing in 1999) offers sensitive accompaniment on the plaintive "Never Let Me Go" and gooses the energy level upward with some old-schoolish Rhodes synthesizer on "Arise!" and "Dream, Little Boy, Dream." Greene's stint with Horace Silver no doubt bolstered the funky syncopation of the latter track. And his time with galvanizing timekeepers like Lewis Nash and Akira Tana surely contributes to Greene's affinity with drummer Eric McPherson and the rhythmic flair that suffuses all of Brand New World. --Britt Robson
