Ryan Keberle & Collectiv do Brasil: Choro das Aguas
by Katchie Cartwright
Ryan Keberle began to study music at age four in Spokane, first at the piano with his mother, Ann, followed by Suzuki violin lessons.

Shades of Sound is not about Ryan Truesdell recreating the past. There are excellent reasons to listen to recreations of the music of Gil Evans. As critic Bill Mathieu wrote of Evans, “The mind reels at the intricacy of his orchestral and developmental techniques. His scores are so careful, so formally well-constructed, so mindful of tradition that you feel the originals should be preserved under glass in a Florentine museum" (Mathieu in Max Harrison, Jazz Profiles, 2011). Evans ...
