In the mid-80s, Courtney Pine won acclaim mainly due to his enormous
technical facility and his resulting inclination to play even faster
than Coltrane, if possible. The sense behind these bold undertakings was
often questioned but Pine continued on regardless, and in recent years
has developed into one of the new voices of European jazz which deserve
to be taken seriously. In his current production -Modern Day Jazz
Stories - the British saxophonist will transform Porgy into a bubbling
Hip Hop local and, together with Charnett Moffett (son of Charles, the
former Ornette drummer), Ronnie Burrage and two DJ's, will repackage
tunes by Billie Holiday, Gary Bartz and Stanley Clarke a.o. in
contemporary wrappings. Don't 'Xplain!! CH
