Summary:

It's hard to categorize Jorge Rossy, who during the course of his career has starred as a drummer, then experimented with trumpet and later focused on the piano. He veered his expression into another direction in 2018 when he released the album Beyond Sunday performed by the Jorge Rossy Vibes Quartet that showcased him as a vibraphone band leader. While throughout the '90s he helped to redefine the art of the traditional jazz trio especially in the renowned band led by Brad Mehldau, the Barcelona-based Rossy set off to dedicate himself to not be boxed in by expectations. Enter Beyond Sunday that proved to be another, well-conceived surprise. By playing the vibraphone, Rossy experienced the percussive elements of drumming with the melodic voicing of the piano. He's toured his quintet frequently throughout Europe, including Zurich, Switzerland where he set up shop at Jazz Club Moods for two hour long sets with tasteful tenor saxophonist Mark Turner, talented Barcelona neighbor Jaume Llombart on guitar, and a stellar rhythm team comprised of acoustic bassist Doug Weiss and veteran drummer Billy Hart (who for the tour had substituted the beat-keeping duties for Al Foster who appeared on the album). At these sets, the subtle musical interplay produced luminous, nuanced performances of many Rossy originals including "Post-Catholic Waltz", "Maybe Tuesday" and "Bolero". While Rossy cheerfully led the band, he didn't play the role of vibes virtuoso, relying instead on setting the rhythmic architecture, then coming in for short two-mallet solos and grace notes. Turner and Hart provided the spark and muscle to the set that kept the reflective jazz swinging. Dan Ouellette.
