Always more a team player than a natural leader, this compilation serves as a perfect introduction to one of the finest European drummers. Spanning almost a quarter of a century, the CD features an impressive cast, which testifies to Daniel Humair's stature and versatility: Eric Dolphy, Gerry Mulligan, Phil Woods, Johnny Griffin, Michel Portal, Martial Solal, and more. His opening statement on the first track, Dolphy's "Les," does not leave any doubt about the drummer's singular and commanding drive -- which can also be appreciated on burning versions of Charlie Parker's "Au Privave" and J.J. Johnson's "Wee." Humair's exuberance is tempered by his sensitivity, and Surrounded gives listeners a chance to admire his subtlety, which shines through his amazing cymbal work, but also in more subdued situations. His duet with pianist Solal, where he totally puts himself to the service of the pianist and music, serves as a perfect example. The other duet with Portal is a rare opportunity to hear him in a free setting, since his musical bent has always privileged a clear connection with the jazz tradition. And if the impressive display of talent was not enough to convince the most recalcitrant listeners, a first-rate unaccompanied drum solo brings the album to a close. This admirable document on Humair's evolution and various musical interests is highly recommended.
