Christian Weidner: The Inward Song
by Dan McClenaghan
On The Inward Song, German alto saxophonist Christian Weidner has crafted music that defies categorization more than most--a slippery sound in terms of tagging it with descriptive phrases. Weidner employs a quartet this time out, following up the trio effort of his first Pirouet Records release, 2004's Choral. This new foursome is a remarkably cohesive ensemble, ...
Christian Weidner: The Inward Song
by Dan Bilawsky
The Inward Song is hardly the quiet, introverted recital of music that might be expected, given the album's title. While alto saxophonist Christian Weidner does throw in a few pieces that fit nicely under this banner, the music on this CD also demonstrates a great deal of range. A case in point is ...
Hubert Nuss: The Book of Colours
by C. Michael Bailey
Ambitious projects like Hubert Nuss' The Book of Colours are not unheard of. Here, the German pianist endeavors to explore multiple modes based on a color wheel. Russian synesthete and composer Alexander Scriabin was profoundly moved by the smell and feel of color in his composing, attempting a synthesis of the five senses in his unfinished ...
Hubert Nuss: The Book of Colours
by Dan McClenaghan
Music is a treat for the ears, for the sense of hearing. But are the borders separating the senses permeable? Can Red Garland's piano notes be said to “sparkle?" Can Paul Desmond's alto saxophone have the sound of a dry martini? Are these metaphors, perhaps, based to some extent on realities along a continuum of sensory ...
Florian Ross: Mechanism
by C. Michael Bailey
Florian Ross has been a contributing member of the international jazz community since 1998, when he released three provocative discs on the Naxos Jazz label (Seasons and Places (1998), Suite for Soprano Sax and String Orchestra (1999), and Lilacs and Laughter (2000)) that showed the German pianist/composer as a composer of great depth and breadth. A ...
Domenic Landolf: New Brighton
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The term, “Impressionism" has been bandied about with such regularity in recent times that it has all but ceased to mean anything, much less suggest the kind of music that came from the pen of Claude Debussy and, a short time later, from that equally famous French composer, Maurice Ravel. Every once in awhile, however, there ...
Contact: Dave Liebman / John Abercrombie / Marc Copland / Drew Gress / Billy Hart: Five On One
by Raul d'Gama Rose
If, indeed, albums are living breathing beings--and this might well be so--then the beating heart of Five on One, by the marvelous Contact ensemble, is “Lost Horizon," a mighty, burbling piece of music that appears to come from a cornucopia of modern sound. It is mysterious, magical and hypnotic, and brings waves of sound that lap ...
