Tangents
Tangents ist das neue Album von Englands führendem Tangoensemble Tango Siempre. Das Album ist das Resultat der Zusammenarbeit der Band mit dem Jazz Saxophonisten Gilad Atzmon und dem Schlagzeuger und Remixer Steve Argüelles. Das Ergebnis ist eine kraftvolle und neue Fusion von Tango und Jazz. Die Musik ist leidenschaftlich, intensiv, und haucht dem Tango Nuevo mit viel Seele, feurigen Improvisationen, glänzendem Zusammenspiel und soliden Grooves neues Leben ein. Mit der Ausnahme der Coverversion von "La Cumparsita" und einer neuen Komposition von Gilad Atzmon (eine Fusion von arabischer Musik, Tango und Jazz) sind alle Stücke aus der Feder der drei Tango Siempre Musiker Ros Stephen (Geige), Jonathan Taylor (Piano) und Pete Rosser (Akkordeon).- Shop: odax

Tangents
Einige der schönsten Musiken von Gary Peacock entstanden innerhalb von Piano-Trios. Schon früh in seiner Karriere hatte Peacock eine frische neue Rolle für den Bass als unabhängige Melodiestimme durchgesetzt. Eine Entwicklung, die in den geschichts-prägenden Gruppen, in denen er spielte, weitergetragen wurde - von den Trios von Paul Bley und Bill Evans bis zu jenem von Keith Jarrett. Im 21. Jahrhundert wurde das Trio mit dem Pianisten Marc Copland und dem Schlagzeuger Joey Baron zu einer von Peacocks effektivsten Plattformen. Die Gruppe erntete im Jahr 2015 mit ihrem ersten ECM-Album Now This viel Lob auf beiden Seiten des Atlantik. All About Jazz schrieb: "Die Musiker sind immer ganz im Moment: hörend, reagierend, wissend, wann sie spielen müssen und wann nicht." Diese Worte würden genauso für Tangents zutreffen, das außergewöhnliche zweite Album der Gruppe. Die kraftvolle, durch poetische Zurückhaltung temperierte Virtuosität des Trios belebt Eigenkompositionen von Peacock, Copland und Baron genauso, wie eine freie Improvisation voll dunkler Atmosphäre und hinreißende Versionen zweier Klassiker, die gemeinhin mit Bill Evans assoziiert werden: "Blue in Green" und "Spartacus".- Shop: odax

Songbook IV
Songbook IV is the Lund Bros fourth official release and their second double album/CD release. Those who liked their previous releases (Tangents, IPO, and Loser) will not be disappointed. Songbook IV is full of great rock and roll tunes that go from a whisper to a roar, explode with the Lund's trademark vocal harmonies, and stinging and chiming with tons of guitars. Think the musical range, musical surprise, and yet overall coherence of the Beatle's White Album. Angry, bittersweet, fun and strange all at the same time - just listen. For those new to the band, they are a power trio founded by Chris and Sean Lund and rounded out with bassist Gwon Chang. They hail from the beautiful Pacific NW and have been writing songs prolifically while performing semi-regularly over the last ten years. They have written and recorded over the course of that time over 85 songs and are already nearly finished with the follow up to Songbook IV. Cheers!- Shop: odax

Rituals: Piano Music of Peter Blauvelt
'Windy Fields', Ninth Piano Sonata (2002) While in the central Asian country of Kyrgyzstan, and having just met the person who would become my wife, sketches for this piece began to emerge that were then completed back in the USA. The piece fairly accurately describes my impressions of a fairly barren Kyrgyz landscape that I walked through it, accompanied by my wife-to-be. Despite all it's ups-and-downs, the piece is a celebration of life. (Performed in St. Petersburg, FL, 12 February 2003) Visions (1988-89) for piano This piece tries to musically describe three visions with differing characteristics and textures, each movement being part meditative and part virtuosic. Due to the nature of the music, the overall composition is too free to be called a sonata. (Performed in Sarasota, FL, 13 April 1991 and Clearwater, FL, 12 August 1995) Four Quiet Piano Pieces (2001) This composition was inspired by a very difficult time in the composer's life during which many things he had known and come to rely on came to an end. The intense emotions that this restructuring created ended up being sublimated into the quietude of four short movements of moderate speed. The titles of the movements have a nocturnal feel to them as they accurately describe each movement's mood. (Performed in Gainesville, FL, 10 November 2001) Rituals (1979-82) for piano With this rather intense composition, a stylistic breaking away from so-called academic composing was achieved. It took six movements of very distinct styles and with various ritualistic patterns to do so. Many of these patterns are fairly obvious, but some are not, such as the one in the fifth movement, which is a strict twelve-tone piece. It should be added that the patterns were also only meant to be presented with a proverbial grain of salt. (Performed in Sarasota, FL, 13 April 1991) Third Piano Sonata (1980) This virtuosic "wild ride" over the keyboard ended up becoming a doctoral dissertation. The physical limits of the instruments are tested and so are standard compositional structures, which prevent the piece from flying off on various tangents. As much as the sonata is expressively intense, it is also just meant to be a romp for the fingers. (Performed in Cambridge, MA, 6 February 1981) ====== Peter Blauvelt (b. 1956) was born in France and grew up in Germany, where he began his studies in composition and piano. In 1975, he came to the U.S., where he studied at Harvard University. There, he received three degrees -- including a doctorate in composition. Since 1968, he has often given recitals -- not only of his own pieces -- in the U.S., France and Germany, in public and on the radio, and has received several prizes for both composition and piano. Meanwhile, he has also been performed in other countries in Europe and North America. After leaving Boston for Florida in 1984, he co-founded the 'Tampa Bay Composers' Forum' in 1989 and founded 'Creative Arts and Tutoring Services' in 1990. To date, he has written over 125 compositions, mostly chamber music, and has had nearly 100 of them performed in public.- Shop: odax
