On 2020's While Looking Up, saxophonist Jimmy Greene offers more of his deeply spiritual and joyful post-bop jazz. The album arrives after Greene's two previous releases, 2014's Beautiful Life and 2017's Flowers: Beautiful Life, Vol. 2, both of which found him working through his grief over the death of his six-year-old daughter in the Sandy Hook shooting in 2012. While often emotionally heavy to listen to, those albums found Greene tapping into a deep well of love for his daughter and transforming his sadness into hope for the future.
It's that transformative sense of hope that he brings to While Looking Up. Intended as a musical antidote to the social and political divisiveness of the years leading up to and following the 2016 U.S. presidential election, While Looking Up is a buoyant album, with moments of soft-spoken strength, measured defiance, and an underlying feeling of gratitude. The album also finds Greene looking even further back in time to his 2009 breakthrough Mission Statement; an album that found him coming into his own as both a bandleader and improvisor. Joining him here are several musicians who played on that album, including guitarist Lage Lund, bassist Reuben Rogers, and vibraphonist Stefon Harris. Also joining him here are longtime associates in drummer Kendrick Scott and pianist Aaron Goldberg. Together, they play with an empathy and intuitive flow that close friends often have. There's a vibrant, rhythmic quality to many of these tracks, like the opening rendition of Cole Porter's "So in Love" with its minor-key flamenco groove. Greene also often sets up his songs with inventive intros, like having Lund play a one-note cadence against Rogers' chorded basslines for the frenetic "Always There." Similarly, Scott and Rogers kick off "Overreaction'' with a propulsive, swinging pattern before Greene, Lund, and Goldberg overlay an angular melody. There are also quieter, if no less rhythmically interesting moments, including the languid "Steadfast," with its delicate counterpoint between Goldberg and Greene. "April 4th" is yet another moment of quiet reserve as Greene overlays a gorgeously harmonized flute, sax, and clarinet melody in loving tribute to his daughter. There's also an inspired, slow-burn ballad reworking of Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me), and a soulful take on the Billie Holiday-associated standard "Good Morning Heartache" that evokes the yearning, burnished styles of Dexter Gordon and Ben Webster. In keeping with the adage that you need to look backwards to move forwards, While Looking Up is the sound of Greene bringing all of his creative and personal experiences to bear in fresh and uplifting ways. ~ AllMusic Review by Matt Collar
