Johannes Wallmann - Precarious Towers- Jazz pianist, composer and educator Johannes Wallmann seems only to be picking up steam ten albums into his career. Precarious Towers, recorded in February 2021, puts Wallmann’s new Chicago-based band through a rigorous workout. The title track, “Precarious Towers” is filled with rhythmic twists and turns, yet struts with a funky melody and able solos by Wallmann on piano and features alto saxophonist Sherel Cassity. “McCoy,” a tribute to McCoy Tyner, is an elegant sendoff to the legend but doesn't rely on the predictable. Vibraphonist Mitch Shiner adds nuance to the more than able rhythm section of John Christensen on bass and Devin Drobka on drums. Wallmann’s piano solo is touchingly inspired as well. The album closer, “Saturday Night Meat Raffle” will have you grinning from ear to ear with it's vivid vibe passages and expressive drumming. Wallmann and his band pack a lot of good stuff in Precarious Towers. So much so that repeated listening is a requirement. That's the hallmark of a great album.
