Album Review
Pianist Ben Darwish makes his recording debut as a leader with Industrial Hero, a trio session with bassist Zach Wallmark and drummer Drew Shoals, all of them still working on or having recently completed a college degree at the time of these 2006 sessions. Drawing from many musical styles, including jazz, rock, Latin music, and hip-hop, Darwish clearly has plenty of chops, though he is still finding his voice as a composer. His songs are enjoyable, especially the ominous, in-your-face opener "Impressions of a Lurking Menace" and the Latin-flavored "Birds Over Buoyancy," yet they often feel like impromptu jams rather than songs that will leave a lasting impression. His whimsical arrangement of the Beatles' "Hey Bulldog" is a nice surprise. Wallmark contributed the funky "Perpetuity" and made a valiant attempt to turn Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful" into a meaningful jazz vehicle, though its bland, monotonous melody ends up a musical dead end.

Inspired Jazz with funk flavor
by squngeThis group really challenges the mind and ear with their fusion sound and musical ability. They play with such timid aggression, soaring melodies and make every note count. The best Jazz album that I have downloaded.
