Jack DeJohnette: “Parallel Realities” (1990)
7. August 2022, 20:36
In 1990, drummer Jack DeJohnette formed a true jazz “supergroup” with guitarist Pat Metheny and pianist and keyboardist Herbie Hancock. “Parallel Realities” is the name of the trio’s album recorded this year, which elegantly oscillates between jazz and pop or rock influences. DeJohnette, who is also a veritable pianist, plays keyboard bass in addition to drums. Half of the compositions are by him, the rest mostly by Pat Metheny, including the eponymous piece “Parallel Realities”. Herbie Hancock particularly shines on this recording with his pianistic contributions.
On the occasion of Jack DeJohnette’s 80th birthday on August 9, 2022, this remarkable album was pulled off the shelf.
