Oliver Lake: Justice
Lo stesso Diehl racconta come sono andate le cose: "il progetto si è definito verso la fine del 2019, con l'intento di presentare le composizioni di Oliver Lake utilizzando l'attuale strumentazione dei Sonic Liberation Front, accanto a un quartetto vocale. Se si pensa al suo lavoro col World Saxophone Quartet, o col Flux String Quartet, un'idea del genere penso possa apparire assolutamente naturale."
La musica dice il resto: una musica ora più rilassata, quasi accomodante, ora più insinuante, spinta, ricca di voci (in senso lato) che si rimpallano idee e input continui, senza un momento di stanca o di calo ispirativo e comunicativo. Un lavoro, quindi, che aggiunge un nuovo tassello a una carriera musicale già di per sé di indiscutibile spessore, che non può che risultarne ulteriormente quanto felicemente illustrata. E illuminata.
