Kronos Quartet / Wu Man: Terry Riley: The Cusp of Magic
by John Kelman
Of the many artists whose work the longstanding Kronos Quartet has commissioned, none has been approached more often than Terry Riley. Riley is one of the founding fathers of minimalism, the late-1960s classical sub genre where repetition of a number of varying length musical fragments creates an ever-shifting landscape often defined by its hypnotic and transcendent ...
Brad Mehldau Trio: Live
by John Kelman
It's been three years since Jeff Ballard replaced original drummer Jorge Rossy in pianist Brad Mehldau's trio with bassist Larry Grenadier. While the trio has been busy on its own and with guitar icon Pat Metheny in support of Metheny Mehldau (Nonesuch, 2006) and Quartet (Nonesuch, 2007), it's also been three years since Day is Done ...
Pat Metheny: Day Trip
by Francis Lo Kee
Pat Metheny's -Day Trip gets underway with the up-tempo “Son of Thirteen," bringing to mind the best of his playing, which combines the seemingly contradictory qualities of explosive virtuosity and tender lyricism. In his wheelhouse, the guitarist also knows how to feature the talents of collaborators (eg, Jaco Pastorius on Metheny's 1976 ECM debut as a ...
Joshua Redman: Back East
by Russ Musto
Saxophonist Joshua Redman's Back East is a multi-tiered concept album that simultaneously fêtes a person--Sonny Rollins; a place--the East--and a thing--the number three, while documenting the leader's continuing development as a saxophonist, composer and arranger. The date celebrates Rollins' classic Way Out West (OJC, 1957) somewhat ironically with its title and several songs associated with the ...
Pat Metheny: Day Trip
by Doug Collette
Pat Metheny has not recorded with a trio for upwards of eight years, but Day Trip certainly makes the wait worth it. The simplicity of its approach will, no doubt, appeal to those fans of the guitarist who relish his primary virtues as an improvising instrumentalist. But it will no doubt foster revelations in Pat Metheny ...
Pat Metheny: Day Trip
by John Kelman
While the trio format isn't new to guitarist Pat Metheny, Day Trip does represent a number of firsts. And with only one minor quibble, if it's not the best trio record he's released since Bright Size Life (ECM, 1976), it's pretty darn close. It's his first trio record to consist of all-original ...
Pat Metheny: Day Trip
by Chris May
It's way too early in the New Year to be making sensible predictions, but hey, let's drive in the center of the road for a moment: if guitarist Pat Metheny's Day Trip doesn't end up amongst the top half-dozen albums of 2008, some very powerful voodoo indeed must be coming round the corner. Day ...
