" data-original-title="" title="">Dave Douglas, A View With a Room conferma Clowes come una delle voci pi�� interessanti della effervescente scena britannica, incarnandone il volto gentile e raffinato.

La sonorit�� sia al sax tenore che al sax soprano �� vellutata ma non melliflua, lo stile richiama quello delle ance del cool jazz, le composizioni, di immediata accessibilit��, rivelano rigore, perfezione formale, freschezza di idee. Uno spiccato senso melodico �� il fil rouge che attraversa l'intero album, a volte in maniera evidente come nell'intenso ?Morning Song?, nell'evocativo ?Ayana? o nel dolce ?Time?, altre volte nascosta dietro riff contagiosi o scansioni ritmiche meno regolari. Sorprendente la chiusura dell'album. Un po' ?Round Midnight? un po' Bolero per il progressivo accumulo sonoro del finale, ?Almost? mette in mostra le qualit�� negli arrangiamenti di Clowes e quelle di una band perfettamente calibrata e affiatata.
