Description:
Throughout his career, Chicago-based trumpeter Marquis Hill has traced and celebrated Black life while reflecting a hard-spun hope in everyday life. Further, the Black Church has remained influential on his art and spirituality. Beautifulism (Sweet Surrender) is a ten-track EP that focuses its sound and creative gaze on spirituality and transcendence with an audacious cast. The core players include guitarist Emmanuel Michel, bassist Junius Paul, saxophonist Josh Johnson, drummer Marcus Gilmore, percussionist Juan Pastor, and a slew of guests including Makaya McCraven, vocalists Amyna Love, Zacchae’us Paul, and Manessah, and rappers Cisco Swank and Kumbayaaa. The music on this 34-minute set dances a loose line between contemporary jazz, neo-soul, and gospel-tinged pop. There are three versions of the title track here, including the short intro that floats with horns playing a lush modal melody alongside a church organ. It segues into the standout "Water (Feelings, Emotions)" with guests Love on vocals and alto saxophonist Immanuel Wilkins alongside Hill, Gilmore, and Junius. His bassline introduces the drummer who delivers tasty breaks as Love and Manessah enter wordlessly before the former offers a way to relief with soul touches interspersed with gorgeous jazz phrasing. The rhythm section is locked in interplay, providing a seamless backdrop for solos by Wilkins and Hill. Zacchae’us Paul fronts the band on "Sweet Surrender" weaving Golds pointillistic guitar through the airy meld of jazz and R&B with prayerful lyrics that promise love secular and/or spiritual. Hill plays trumpet (open and muted) as Manessah joins Paul in the choruses with Pastor and Junius holding down the lithe, seductive groove. Jeremiah Chius synth adds a rumbling low-end foundation for Pauls bass on "Free #1" before Kumbayaaa begins rapping. Gilmores skittering snare winds up Hills multi-tracked horn playing a vamp before taking a killer solo. "Blues" uses the Windy Citys greatest export as a lift-off point for a wrangling instrumental jam that showcases guest Matt Golds gnarly guitar as Gilmore and Paul hold his feet to the fire and Hill vamps, solos, and winds melody as ballast through the mix. "Demo 1.1" (The Pleasures of You)" is a fingerpopping post-bop tune with a strident rhythmic attack before Hill begins expanding the tunes harmonic reach, and Manasseh sings wordlessly around the band. "Free #1B" showcases emcee Cisco Swank just above Hills effects-laden horn as Pauls driving bassline roils under guest Justin Browns Afrobeat drumming and breaks. The truly lovely "Bible Study" weds contemporary gospel, jazz, and neo soul with Mike King guesting on organ and piano and McCraven on drums. Manasseh hovers and floats above it all in a multi-tracked vocal that swells to simulate a sanctified choir. Hills playing provides solace and comfort. “Sweet Surrender” (in demo) has Hills post-bop horn alternately crooning and burning with lyricism. Beautifulism (Sweet Surrender) is a blissed-out work that easily melds spirit, soul, divine and romantic love in Hills own brand of contemporary jazz. ~ Thom Jurek
