I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Bright Dawn, from Harvie S and it's light and flowing. Opening with Ghosts of Havana, Miki Hayama on Fender Rhodes creates the fabric on which Peter Bernstein builds the guitar rich melody. Matt Wilson holds a tight rein on the rhythm and Harvie S lays out a really nice solo on bass for a solid opener. Waltz For Vartan showcases Harvie leading the way on bass. Flowing guitar lead by Bernstein adds a real nice lyrical feel to the track and giving the track a lighter feel. I've Got Rhythm and Blues is my favorite track on the release with Bernstein really strolling on lead guitar and a thumping bass line reinforcing all the way. Smoking. On Chick Corea's, Humpty Dumpty, Hayama really rolls on piano and a complimentary bass solo by Harvie makes this one of my favorites on the release. Wrapping the release is Swithering, a dramatic composition featuring Hayama on piano crafting the melody with interwoven bass lines by Harvie and percussive riffs by Wilson. This is a fine closer for an interesting release.
