Alex Clements - Waiting for You
- “Waiting for You,” from Alex Clements, is an album from an eminent Canadian jazz pianist that has been graced with a heap of accolades. This artist and composer’s highest award was being honored with an Alberta Achievement Award, which was presented to him by the government of Alberta.
“Blues for GB” has an earthy blues touch to it, as Clements swiftly taps away at the piano along with saxophone work and light drum play. The rhythm of the track is incredibly catchy, and its pace picks up as the song progresses.
On “Nuits de Paris” the tempo of Clements’s piano playing noticeably slows and gets very sultry. Listeners can envision hearing this song as they amble along the Seine River in France with the one they adore.
With the title track, the love theme continues. Ravishing saxophone work accompanies Clements’ prowess on the piano. This is a song that could be heard in a motion picture detailing the romance between two characters and how one has ached for the other for a prolonged period of time. The sad strains of the piano and sax combined accentuate this notion for listeners.
On “Old Balsam” the blues, with a jazz twist, looms along with soft percussion work in the background. As the song progresses, the saxophone work hits some very high notes, which draws attention.
Alex Clements’s “Waiting for You” is a jazz record that is perfectly fit for enthusiasts of the genre. Clements has toured in the United States, Europe and even Southeast Asia bringing his brand of musical dissertation to the masses. They have responded with pure delight.
