Jazz albums are born in a number of different ways. Some arrive with birth pangs after a trial-and-error search for just the right notes and perfect deliverance. Some burst out in a sudden and explosive improvisational brilliance with unblemished first takes. Then, there are those discs that come to fruition in their own time-frame, steeping in years of work that ultimately fulfills the creative vision of the artist. Saxophonist Tim Ries' CD and his debut for Concord Jazz, THE ROLLING STONES PROJECT, fits squarely into the latter category - a sprawling tour schedule with The Stones, and the logistics of putting together such an ambitious project the main culprits here. Without a doubt, it's been worth the wait. This 12-song collection not only celebrates the iconic pop band but also illustrates how ripe the group's songs are for jazz renderings. The CD features Ries breathing jazz life into the rock tunes. It also spotlights several guests who bring their support to the project. Included in the mix are vocalists Sheryl Crow, Lisa Fischer, Norah Jones, and Luciana Souza; jazz guitar icons Bill Frisell and John Scofield; keyboardist Larry Goldings; and Wayne Shorter's brilliant bass-drum team Brian Blade and John Patitucci. Most unexpectedly, THE ROLLING STONES PROJECT even features Rolling Stones members Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ron Wood, who also contributed the album cover art. Jazz interpretations of popular songs have long been an important part of the jazz experience, but regrettably, that tradition has been plagued by two unfortunate trends in the '90s and the 21st century. At one extreme are the ideologues who believe that worthwhile popular music ended with the George Gershwin/Irving Berlin/Cole Porter era and insist on playing the same old warhorses over and over -- and at the other extreme are the smooth jazz players who think that performing note-for-note Muzak covers of Top 40 tunes is creative. But there are some imaginative improvisers who are using Rock and R&B songs as vehicles for real, honest to God jazz expression - people like The Bad Plus, England's Claire Martin, and Philadelphia singer Lou Lanza (who paid tribute to The Doors on his excellent Opening Doors album). And on THE ROLLING STONES PROJECT, tenor/soprano saxman Tim Ries reminds listeners how nicely The Stones' songbook can work in a jazz-oriented environment. This post-bop/soul-jazz effort isn't without its flaws. The opener, "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction," is ruined by the pointless background vocals of Bernard Fowler, who repeats the song's chorus over and over (without singing the verses) and merely gets in the way of Ries' expressive tenor. But when Ries' largely instrumental Stones tribute is great, it's really great. The saxman soars on an organ combo version of "Honky Tonk Women" (with organist Larry Goldings and Stones drummer Charlie Watts), and Ries is equally imaginative on a Brazilian-influenced arrangement of "Street Fighting Man" and a probing, somewhat Michael Brecker-ish take on "Paint It Black." Singer Norah Jones has a memorable spot on "Wild Horses". Her performance is jazzy pop/rock rather than actual vocal jazz, but she's enjoyably good at what she does. Despite some occasional missteps, THE ROLLING STONES PROJECT has more ups than downs and is well worth the price of admission.
