Trios

Descripción

DESCRIPCIÓN DEL PRODUCTO DESCRIPCIÓN DEL PRODUCTO Carla Bley, Andy Sheppard e Steve Swallow rivisitano alcune classiche composizioni della pianista in un eccezionale album registrato lo scorso anno a Lugano da Manfred Eicher. Si ascoltano qui nuove e fiammeggianti versioni di “Utviklingssang” e “Vashkar”, oltre alle suite “Les Trois Lagons”, “Wildlife” e “The Girl Who Cried Champagne”. Le solide composizioni di Carla vengono riproposte in modo vivido, gli interventi solisti dei tre sono sempre incisivi e il suono d’insieme risulta efficace come non mai. “Trios” è uno dei titoli di maggior rilievo di questa stagione e rappresenta l’esordio di Carla Bley per la ECM (negli ultimi 40 anni Carla ha infatti inciso per la WATT, un’etichetta distribuita dalla ECM). Carla Bley, pianoforte; Andy Sheppard,sassofoni; Steve Swallow, contrabbasso OPINIÓN 'Bley's trio of piano, sax and bass guitar fits her agile, gently melancholic and slightly self-mocking idiom to a T...an endearing blend of sophistication and whimsy.' -- The Daily Telegraph, (Ivan Hewitt) * * * * 'With producer Manfred Eicher at the studio controls, it's a match made in chamber jazz heaven.' -- BBC Music Magazine, (Garry Booth) * * * * 'This album of Bley originals is revealing of her range and it takes its place among her finest work...reveals what an exquisite saxophonist Sheppard is and how he has developed a remarkable understanding of both Bley the pianist and Bley the composer.' -- Jazzwise, (Stuart Nicholson) * * * * 'This is Bley's best album since Fancy Chamber Music: the intimacy suits, and there's a certain grandeur even in the reduced scale, the shrinking of gesture and attitude to abstract portraiture.' -- Marlbank, (Stephen Graham) * * * * 'Utviklingssang is taken very slowly, with Sheppard exhaling the lovely tune in the tenor's upper register, while the saxophonist hovers between a swing-band swagger and fast bebop on the opening of Les Trois Lagons; Wildlife stretches from an Ellingtonian melody to a trance-like, cyclical finale;, and there's a Jobim-like lilt to The Girl Who Cried Champagne.' -- The Guardian 'It's been a while since a new album by Carla Bley felt like an event. While Trios does not represent any great departure from her usual strategies, there's a purity of purpose here that, coupled with Manfred Eicher's uncluttered production, results in a cool, clear aesthetic statement that is very effective.' -- The Independent On Sunday, (Phil Johnson) 'Three supremely sensitive, responsive musicians - Swallow nimbly picking out his uniquely deft and sonorous bass-guitar sound, Sheppard breathing intense warmth and humanity into everything he plays, Bley herself delicate and understated, yet subtly controlling the trio sound.' -- LondonJazzNews, (Chris Parker) 'Without muss or fuss, Bley, Swallow and Sheppard have, with Trios, created that most perfect of chamber records, filled with shrewd surprises and a delicate dramaturgy that reveals itself further with each and every listen.' --All About Jazz, (John Kelman)
