Big M's Grab Bag

Read "Big M's Grab Bag" reviewed by Patrick Burnette


The theme this episode is--got ya!--there isn't a theme. What we do have are two mildly historical piano-led recordings by musicians who couldn't be more different if they tried, and two new releases by musicians also pulling in different directions.

The 7th Day

Featuring the music of Mehmet Ali Sanlikol
Duration: 9:23

Last month, Turkish musical polymath Mehmet Ali Sanlıkol released 'An Elegant Ritual'. Known primarily for ambitious large ensemble works, the adventurous pianist pares down to a trio this time around, and often augments the material with rich vocal stylings. Such is the case on the album's first full-length track, "The 7th Day", accompanied here by a warm-hearted video. Featuring Sanlıkol's emotive scat singing and dazzling musical interplay, "The 7th Day" is one of the brightest moments on An Elegant Ritual.
