Opis

From Granite To WindOpis:Product DescriptionThe continuous performance 'From Granite To Wind', is an evolving flux of different forms and colours, re-interpreting elements of the great jazz tradition through Tippett's idiosyncratic musical language. This is a welcome addition, a new jazz suite by the internationally acclaimed composer, arranger, and improviser. Personnel: Keith Tippett (piano keyboard & interior, pebbles, maraca, woodlblocks, music box), Paul Dunmall (tenor & soprano saxes), James Gardiner-Bateman (alto sax), Peter Fairclough (drums), Kevin Figes (alto & baritone saxes), Thad Kelly (double bass), Julie Tippetts (voice, seed pods, Balinese xylophone, toy xylophone, struck thumb piano), Ben Waghorn (tenor sax & bass clarinet).

ReviewKeith Tippett has been one of the UK's most inventive solo improvisers and composers since the 1970s, and this continuous-performance suite is a fine representation of those skills. It's a framework for the impressionistic poetry of his vocalist wife Julie Tippett, and the sax-playing of four fine soloists including long-time associate Paul Dunmall. Sometimes the album is as irrepressibly lively as anything Tippett's former partners Elton Dean or Harry Beckett might have relished, but it can also be quite austere. Luckily, the elements all fit gracefully together. The 47-minute piece opens with a skittish, bright-toned piano passage, pursued by an exultant ensemble theme with skittering, birdlike vocal improv tucked under it. Tippett's piano and Dunmall's soprano sax wheel over a fast, straightahead bass-walk, before a dark and soulful slow horn-and-voice part envelops them both. The horn-parts are cannily written and rousingly delivered, and the narrative is a secret soundscape of delicate, free-vocal sounds, fragile percussion and plucked-piano noises evaporating into whispering wind-tones, which works in this ambitious and coherent work. --John Fordham, GuardianWhat's great about this rare new ensemble-recording by pianist/composer Tippett is the way it runs together swinging, South African influenced grooves with free-jazz freak-outs. It's a terrific band, with Paul Dunmall and Ben Waghorn among the saxes, Pete Fairclough on drums and Julie Tippetts on vocals. --Independent on SundayAutor:Keith Tippett OctetNośnik:Audio CDPłyt:Język: Data wydania: 2011-08-08Waga: 0.09 gramWysokość: 0.3 cmSzerokość: 5 cmDługość: 5.1 cmUWAGA: Kupując produkt na tej aukcji zgadzasz się na wydłużony termin realizacji wysyłki (10-14 dni roboczych).
