Centered around Byron's effervescent new trio with piano rising star Jason Moran and drumming paragon Jack DeJohnette, Ivey-Divey is a master class in jazz chemistry-a worthy successor in spirit to tenor sax legend Young's mid-'40s trio with Nat "King" Cole and Buddy Rich.
With musicians of this caliber, it's no surprise that Ivey-Divey sizzles with exuberance-the confidant sound of three musicians working at a profound level of empathy. While the spirit of the session may hark back to Lester Young, this is no mere swing down memory lane. Byron and Co. bring an up-to-the minute rhythmic and harmonic sensibility, not to mention improvisational fireworks to their four selections from the Prez repertoire: "I Want to Be Happy," "Somebody Loves Me" (in two equally dazzling, yet substantially different renditions), "I Cover the Waterfront," and "I've Found a New Baby."
In addition to the trio, Ralph Alessi (trumpet) and Lonnie Plaxico (bass) are added to round out the session. The quintet tackles classic Miles Davis repertoire including "In a Silent Way" and "Freddie Freeloader" as well as original Byron compositions.
