Featuring mega-talented pianist Alex Maguire, this supremely talented European quintet generates some high-heat throughout this rather extroverted progressive-jazz date. Awash with some snap, crackle and pop, the frontline of trumpeter Johannes Krieger and tenor saxophonist Alipio C Neto often indulge in concise lines, sparked with a horde of simmering dynamics. It’s a democratic engagement indeed, where the musicians delve into playful escapades and off-kilter diversions, as they occasionally veer off into the free-jazz spectrum.
On the piece titled “John’s Fragment,” Maguire lays down a budding ostinato passage, used as a forum for the quintet’s bumpy, shuffle groove and regal horns choruses. Needless to state, this unit packs a massive punch. And it won’t take your ears that long to figure it out. The plot thickens during the semi-structured work “Electrico 28,” featuring the soloists’ inverted unison phrasings and an assortment of stop/start segments.
The ensemble goes for the gusto amid a myriad of combustible patterns, augmented with linear motifs and an aggregation of darting, crash and burn type movements. Yet they tone it down some during “Ure’s Epitaph – DER HIRT in Memoriam Urs Zuber,” where the musicians render a subtle eulogy, highlighted by Krieger and Neto’s warmly stated lines. Ultimately, this is a thoroughly happening jaunt that should easily stimulate a few brain cells, to coincide with the band’s largely, penetrating manner of getting its point across.

Editor's info:
To begin with - and we always begin listening a record by reading its title and the names of the tracks -, a glance to the cover of this disc informs us of a situation of conflict. The international outfit formed by Alípio Carvalho Neto (Brazil), Johannes Krieger (Germany), Alex Maguire (United Kingdom), Ricardo Freitas (Portugal) and Rui Gonçalves (Portugal) calls itself Wishful Thinking, the mental capacity to project our most ambitious desires. But the title of the CD is not so positive: "Wishful Thinking" tell us that music, since its inception when human beings were more close to nature and the animal kingdom, is a privileged way (because it needs no words) to express pain, frustration, rage and sadness. Truth is there's an inner logic in this apparent paradox, because it's precisely our melancholy that enables us to think about perfect societies of milk and honey. The music played by this quintet is the conciliation of the two forces that drive human conscience: one makes us look forward, the other pushes us to protest, and lament, and shout in anger. So, there's tears ("Urs's Epitaph - Der Hirt", Alípio's tribute to a departed friend) and laughter (Maguire's "Buffalo Bill") here, and that's fine. Good hard bop with a funky electric bass and a wild piano going from the stride tradition to God knows where, that's what you have here. Take it.
