For the Love of Sarah is a tribute to Motian's music, and from the opening moments it's like stepping ...

Joel Harrison - Lorenzo Feliciati: Holy Abyss
by AAJ Italy Staff
Questa musica è dolente e luminosa allo stesso tempo ed è molto bene rappresentata dal titolo dell'album, che fa riferimento ai 'sacri abissi.' Infatti la luminescenza scura di questo ottimo lavoro, è proprio quella tipica che si trova sott'acqua, dove la luce arriva filtrata e diminuita dai sovrastanti metri d'acqua limacciosa.

Joel Harrison String Choir: The Music of Paul Motian
by John Kelman
Joel Harrison has stretched the boundaries of form and freedom for over fifteen years, but Urban Myths (HighNote, 2009) and, in particular, the ambitious The Wheel (Innova, 2008), have represented significant evolutionary leaps. The Wheel married a conventional horn-led jazz quintet with a classical string quartet, its collection of Harrison originals pushing the limits of cross-pollination ...
