The stimulating One is saxophonist Jason Rigby's thirdrelease as a leader and the most accomplished addition toRigby's discography. The sparse trio setting and theintimate ambience allow Rigby to showcase hismultifaceted compositions and his superb improvisationalskills. They also demonstrate the sublime synergy amongthe band members as well as Rigby's command of hisinstrument.
The tense "Dorian Gray," for instance, opens with bassist Cameron Brown's nimbleand swinging refrains. Drummer Gerald Cleaver brings a funky feel to the tune withhis vibrant and confident beats. Rigby builds an intriguing, spontaneous song withshort and ardent phrases that alternatively coalesce and diverge in clever and thrilling

formations. Brown solos with agility and a laid-back groove that is nevertheless quitepassionate.
Brown and Cleaver provide the rumbling backdrop on the melancholic "Live By TheSword." Rigby blows yearning and fiery lines that form an expansive and lyricalextemporization that is peppered with dissonant hints. Cleaver's thunderingpolyrhythms add an expectant edge and a sense of urgency.
Cleaver and Rigby duet on the riotous "Dive Bar" demonstrating seamless synergy.Cleaver's rolling drums open the piece with a thrilling ferocity. Rigby contributesintense and warm staccato fragments that form the basis for his improvisation. Heembellishes the original melody with raw energy and unfettered abandon. The musicalconversation becomes more turbulent and angular before the concluding bars.
Rigby interprets the standard "Embraceable You" unaccompanied. He evocativelydeconstructs the main theme with intelligence and elegance. Crisp and shimmeringcascade of notes follow one another in a logical sequence and hints of bluesy emotion.The result is a fluid and crystalline gem.
One is a mature and stirring work that highlights the Rigby's unique and polished styleand his organic and edgy sound. Simultaneously provocative and charismatic thiscohesive album is highly enjoyable and makes for a satisfying listening experience.
