Editorial review
Opening up a Dom Minasi album is always something of an adventure. You never know for sure whether you're going to hear tasteful straight-ahead jazz, adventurous and intelligent avant-gardism, or ridiculous, unlistenable skronk. His recent Takin' the Duke Out album was heavy on the latter, so one could be forgiven for having a few misgivings about Time Will Tell. Luckily, this one leans much more toward the straight-ahead end of the spectrum, where Minasi really does shine. That's not to say that this album is just a rehash of traditional post-bop clich?s; on the contrary, Minasi's arrangements (most of which prominently feature the cello as well as guitar, bass, and drums) are inventive and sometimes challenging, and although his tone is warm and soft-edged, the musical thinking in evidence on his solos is sharp and incisive. The same can be said of both his compositions and his arrangements: notice the lovely interplay between Tomas Ulrich's cello and Ken Filiano's bass on Minasi's unusual arrangement of the Wayne Shorter composition "Witch Hunt" and the minimalist loveliness of his original bossa nova entitled "Time Will Tell." Best of all is the assertively funky mid-tempo strut of "Be Op Be Op Be Ah." Minasi lets his solos slide into apparent chaos once in a while, but in a useful way -- the end result is a sound that comes across as carefully considered rather than merely self-indulgent. Strongly recommended. ~ Rick Anderson, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
After exploding the conventions of jazz guitar with his two previous trio albums (Takin' the Duke Out and Goin' Out Again), New York-based guitarist Dom Minasi has taken a "kinder and gentler" route with his brilliant new CD Time Will Tell. But the spirit of adventure and innovation is not diminished even an iota on this dynamic excursion by Dom's ensemble, DDT + 2.
With the all-string core group of Dom, cellist Tomas Ulrich and bassist Ken Filiano augmented by John Bollinger on drums and vocalist Carol Mennie (appearing only on a lovely rendition of Thelonious Monk's Round Midnight), Time Will Tell offers a different, but no less provocative side of the amazing guitarist's expansive musical vision.
"...joyous artistic abandon." George W. Carroll - Ejazznews.com
"Even the most circuitous approach can produce unexpected results, and Minasi has certainly achieved something of unexpected-and rare-beauty."
