Chasm

Comprised guitarist Mark Esakoff and flutist Michael Whipple, the members of the Ventura, California-based jazz duo Chasm first met in 1987. As a youngster, Whipple's family moved around a lot (his father was a military man), and when his father forbade him to learn the drums, he picked up the flute and also taught himself how to play keyboards. Then despite his father's misgivings, eventually learned to play drums. Esakoff, on the other hand, picked up guitar at the age of 13, equally inspired by rock and folk, eventually traveling with his instrument throughout America, Europe, and North Africa, before hooking up with Whipple. Since then they have added band members and continue to evolve with their World Jazz sound; blending contemporary jazz within a world music setting. (www.chasm-music.net)

Ryuichi Sakamoto: Chasm

Ryuichi Sakamoto Chasm KAB (2005) Valutazione: 4 stelle Purtroppo non ho più modo di tenermi aggiornato sul mondo prolifico e proteiforme della musica pop. Peccato. Non ne ho più il modo perché la contemporaneità ha ampliato, fino ad annientarli, i limiti di quanta musica si possa pensare, produrre e reperire; e ampliando questi limiti ha ridotto ...

Chasm: Panorhythmica

Quick and to the Point: Extremely friendly and accessible panoramic jazz. Chasm’s latest offering is as poly-emotive as it is poly-rhythmic, relying on exotic instrumentation to frame a singular sound that emerges with steadily melodic friendliness. The sweetness and liveliness of the flute is superbly arranged around simple percussive patterns conceived as strong support ...
