During the noughties, British drummer Dylan Howe (a jazz-loving rocker for much of his career, who has played with the late Ian Dury and the Blockheads, and his guitar-star father Steve Howe) made a series of fine recordings that sounded like old Blue Note bebop sessions, but this subtle, cinematic venture is very different. Seven years in the making, it's his personal take on songs from David Bowie's 1970s albums. The contemplative, painterly atmosphere is conjured by creative electronics and elegant arrangements deploying two saxes (Brandon Allen and Julian Siegal), but there's plenty of jazz swing too, with Allen and pianist Ross Stanley the principal soloists. The title track, typical of the set, opens with synth-strings, quiet bass hooks and drum tattoos, and ends in a gentle piano/tenor-sax dance. The excellent Stanley's piano flows freely through a swaying Weeping Wall, Art Decade's lateral melody is irresistably mysterious, and Warszawa begins in brooding mode before turning into the sound of the classic Coltrane quartet in full cry. A warm tribute to Bowie, but a jazz album too, Subterranean offers plenty to fans from both constituencies.
