CD ECM Records John Surman: Adventure Playground
In stoc1992
John Surman - saxofoane, bas clarinet
Paul Bley - pian
Gary Peacock - bass
Tony Oxley - drums
< ecm reviews.com >
John Surman’s Adventure Playground is an appendix to Paul Bley’s previous quartet efforts, only now we find them in the company of bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Tony Oxley. And while the session does drip with the same brooding viscosity one would come to expect, the added colors of Oxley enhance the music’s inner states with endless novelty. Take, for instance, the anthemic frenzy he builds in his sole compositional contribution, “Just For Now,” by which he holds smelling salts under the nose of the listener’s attention. And again in Surman’s “Quadraphonic Question,” a lumbering yet somehow airy thing to which the rules of interpretation can only bow in appreciation of their own dismantling, his talents are especially brilliant, describing a host of people and places in bursts of expansive inquiries while managing to give those delicate soprano lines all the room they need to weep.

CD ECM Records John Surman: The Spaces In Between
In stoc2007
John Surman - saxofon sopran si tenor, bas clarinet
Chris Laurence - contrabas
Rita Manning - vioara
Patrick Kiernan - vioara
Bill Hawkes - viola
Nick Cooper - violoncel
Almost a decade has passed since John Surman initiated this special project in which his reeds and the bass of Chris Laurence are flanked by, and interact with, a string quartet. “Coruscating”, the debut album from this unique combination of players, was recorded in January 1999 and met with a warm response from listeners to jazz, chamber music and beyond. An Editor’s Choice in Gramophone, hailed as “coruscating indeed, a classic ECM disc” by composer Ivan Moody in International Record Review, and as “an album of almost unspeakable beauty: fantastically vivid and evocative”, by rock magazine Mojo, the recording established a template on which Surman could build. And “The Spaces In Between” marks a big step forward...

CD ECM Records Bill Connors: Of Mist And Melting
In stoc1977
Bill Connors - chitara
Jan Garbarek - saxofoane
Gary Peacock - contrabas
Jack DeJohnette - tobe
editie Touchstones - format mini-vinil replica, coperti gatefold, cartonate
A guitarist’s guitarist, Bill Connors has always had the admiration of his peers. Steve Tibbetts recently praised Connors’s “left-hand vibrato, his sense of space, his liquid phrasing, the way he lingers on a note” – all qualities in evidence on 1977’s Of Mist and Melting. Jazz Journal: “The combination of Connors’s predominantly cool linearity and DeJohnette’s patented rolling and tumbling creates a very special blend of poetic contemplation and rhythmic vitality.”

CD ECM Records Bennie Maupin: The Jewel In The Lotus
In stoc1974
Bennie Maupin Reeds, Voice, Glockenspiel
Herbie Hancock Piano, Electric Piano
Buster Williams Bass
Frederick Waits Drums, Marimba
Billy Hart Drums
Bill Summers Percussion
Charles Sullivan Trumpet
editie Touchstones - format mini-vinil replica, coperti gatefold, cartonate
This is the first time on CD for a long-unavailable collectors’ item. With The Jewel in the Lotus, Maupin, the great multireedman, produced something visionary and, for some perhaps, joltingly unexpected: a series of mostly rubato aural paintings using piano, electric piano, bass, three drummers, multitracked saxophone, bass clarinet and flute, and trumpet on two tracks. … Soloists include Herbie Hancock and Maupin, but this is a composer’s work; ad libs and interplay notwithstanding, the ensemble is paramount.

CD ECM Records Steve Kuhn: Trance
In stoc1975
Steve Kuhn - pian, pian electric
Steve Swallow - bas electric
Jack DeJohnette - tobe
Sue Evans - percutie
editie Touchstones - format mini-vinil replica, coperti gatefold, cartonate
With the nostalgic sound of electric piano, near-Minimalist repetition at times and touches of tinkle-in-the –wind percussion, Steve Kuhn’s 1974 classic Trance is not just hypnotic, it’s more melodic and more intense than you might think at first. Kuhn’s effortless-sounding keyboard technique sustains every flight of his imagination as he’s borne up on the sometimes driving, sometimes lighter-than-air floating pulse of drummer Jack DeJohnette and bassist Steve Swallow. On CD for the first time, it’s a must listen.

CD ECM Records Steve Swallow: Home
In stoc1979
Steve Swallow - bas
Sheila Jordan - voce
Steve Kuhn - pian
David Liebman - saxofoane
Lyle Mays - sintetizator
Bob Moses - tobe
editie Touchstones - format mini-vinil replica, coperti gatefold, cartonate
A recording of great charm, Home features bassist Steve Swallow’s settings of the poetry of Robert Creeley for an inspired band of friends, each of whom is also a strikingly original presence. Creeley was very supportive of the project and loved particularly Sheila Jordan’s singing. Swallow, whose feeling for verse is as profound as his understanding of jazz, gets right inside the meaning of the texts and illuminates them with his melodies. Recorded 1979.

CD ECM Records Gary Burton: The New Quartet
In stoc1973
Gary Burton Vibraphone
Michael Goodrick Guitar
Abraham Laboriel Bass
Harry Blazer Drums
As well as being the great vibes innovator of the era, Gary Burton has been a most astute talent scout. In 1973, The New Quartet introduced Abraham Laboriel: this was the first recording of the bassist who would shortly become one of the most in-demand session players across all genres. “It must be emphasised that Laboriel sounds like a major artist in the making with his astonishing bass work,” wrote Melody Maker. Guitarist Mick Goodrick also emerged as a player to watch with this album, shining in a well-conceived programme with compositions of Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, Carla Bley, Mike Gibbs and bandleader Burton.

CD Naim Get The Blessing: OC DC
In stoc2012
OC DC exudes energy and invention at every turn. As sax player Jake McMurchie suggests, "It's both more esoteric, more physical and more carefully crafted", whilst retaining the band's signature blend of strong melodic ideas, ferocious rhythmic hooks, tight compositional structures, and freewheeling improvisations. Trumpeter Pete Judge agrees: "It's less afraid to be itself than it used to be". A particular highlight is the unexpected guest cameo by legendary composer & musician Robert Wyatt - a delicious wordless chorale on the languid American Meccano, recorded in a Lincolnshire studio open to the sounds of birdsong and passing vehicles.
Get The Blessing wear their jazz credentials lightly but defiantly.
