Enter Arnold Faber's Vibre to offer up a lovely anomaly, a jazz group that has existed together for Five years; developing a sound, style and comfort level that comes only from repeated interactions. Celebrating this long term relationship with a beautiful new album called Blue Comedy featuring both originals and re-worked standards, Vibre are ready to bring the sound of the Vibes back into contemporary jazz culture with a sound that honors the soft coolness of Vibes-based groups like the Modern Jazz Quartet and Gary Burton while settling in comfortably along side the current usage of the instrument in settings such as Dave Holland's recent group. Comprised of a group of very busy and diverse musical professionals alongside leader Arnold Faber, Vibre features Frank Rackow on Saxophones who established himself on the high-level Montreal Jazz scene and brings forth his knowledge of the intricate yet playful and very demanding Klezmer idiom; Greg Prior pulls double duty as a bassist with the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra as well as a busy roster of commercial and session gigs; Robin Tufts rounds out the jazz drummer's life with the intricacies of the hi-energy Celtic band Seanachie, and a legion of work that ensures the drum sticks are never far from his hands. Putting players of this caliber together for a night could be magical, let them play together for years and results become explosive. Vibre have a playful sound that entertains as it challenges and keeps you interested while mesmerizing. The sound of mallets hitting the finely tuned metal bars of a quality vibraphone is one thing, but another is the exotic visual spectacle of the instrument as every move, every note is a dance, a celebration of the making of music. The new album from Arnold Faber's Vibre, Blue Comedy, is out now on Maximum Jazz and features an incredibly lush sound, a rich and luxurious warmth that captures all the sparkle of the drums and saxophones the full round sound of the Vibes and a big fat and focused bass sound that ranks up there with the finest quality recording available. Be sure not to miss Arnold Vibre and witness the magic of a fully functional and entertaining long-term musical relationship.
