Geir Lysne Ensemble: The Grieg Code
by John Kelman
The Norwegian aesthetic for large ensembles is often considerably distanced from the American tradition, though there are mid-Atlantic meeting points, with Mariah Schneider and Darcy James Argue finding some common ground with Jon Balke, Trygve Seim and Geir Lysne. Lysne, in particular, has managed to combine a greater predilection for overt soloing within oftentimes expansive, detailed ...

E', piuttosto, la rigorosa austerità, il severo ...

John Surman: The Spaces in Between
by Budd Kopman
The sumptuous and moving The Spaces in Between represents eight years of growth--not only for multi-reedman/composer John Surman, but also the string quartet Trans4mation, as it originally appeared on Coruscating (ECM, 1999). Bassist Chris Laurence is the link between the two worlds of jazz and classical music, having worked with Surman for more ...
John Surman: The Spaces in Between
by John Kelman
One challenge facing many musicians is the documentation of widespread musical interests. More often than not, artists engage in projects that are heard in performance, perhaps on a radio broadcast, but then never again. Sometimes ongoing projects are documented, but only once, as is the case with British woodwind multi-instrumentalist John Surman's superb Stranger Than Fiction ...
