Nice review cd 'No Way Station' in American Cadence
april-may-june 2008
"What struck me immediately was the vivid creativity of writing: the title track (No Way Station) uses seven instruments in such varied, shifting ways that they at times sound like two small groups going in parallel but contrasting directions, sometimes like a shouting big band over funk-driven rhythms. It is a change from the usual ensemble-soloist format, and it hints at everything from Parker and Gil Evans back to New Orleans street music. When this group returns for 'Stranger Than Paranoia', they suggest, through shifting rhythms and emphases, a weirdly entrancing mix of abstraction and a minuet's formalities. On the duets between Van Kemenade and pianists Busch or Braam, the leader suggests that he would have fit into a gospel group or a Ray Charles big band. Intense and sometimes rough, his playing hints at a fierce version of Phil Woods. Occasionally Van Kemenade's lines are repetitive in the manner of Steve Reich, but he never stays stuck in one groove. The closing three selections are explorations of the possibilities for Jazz soloists and strings: they are alluring but not sweet, intriguing without being aggressively dissonant. Often thrilling music."
