Reviewed: 2017-11-23 Genre: Jazz FCCs: none Review: a former accomplished classical pianist has been pursuing his own jazz muse for over a decade. This is his first solo endeavor and the results are striking. Both meditative and engaging, he is constantly improvising on this ambitious double disc set. If You Like: Keith Jarrett, Ralph Towner, Django Bates Track Review (favorites denoted by *): (DISC 1) 1/ Destino (6:20) - slow chords start> slow tempo> fade *2/ Pelagos (10:12) - slow tempo switches to midtempo> fade *3/ Migralia (12:24) - shimmering notes starts & crescendo> midtempo beautiful melody swings uptempo> fade *4/ Lamma Bada Yattathanna (4:51) - slow & quiet start> slow tempo swings to midtempo> quick fade *5/ Processional (5:24) - off-kilter clunky notes> slow tempo builds to midtempo> quick stop 6/ Halap (8:39) - midtempo with flurries of notes swings uptempo> quick stop 7/ Dogon (1:47) - short off-kilter clunky uptempo> quick stop *8/ Life (10:59) - quiet slow start> beautiful midtempo melody slows to a slow tempo & swings back> builds in intensity> long slow fade DISC 2 REVIEWED ON BACK (DISC 2) 9/ Lampedusa (7:08) - slow 7 quiet start> slow & contemplative> stop *10/ Hora Mundi (14:07) - cascading notes> midtempo slows to slow tempo> shift to heavy chords> slow tempo with light dancing notes over the top> stop 11/ Lamma Bada Yattathanna (variation) (3:37) - midtempo & quick fade 12/ Exilium (9:24) - slow & steady chords start> builds to midtempo with heavy notes, percussive feel> quick stop 13/ Migration Mantra (11:34) - pretty midtempo melody> fade *15/ Horgos E Roszke (6:45) - slow tempo start swings to midtempo & slows again> fade *16/ Ufratu (5:37) - midtempo> beautiful melody> fade *17/ Heron (5:37) - slow & stuttering, playing internal strings (I think) swings to uptempo, almost percussive sounding> slows to stop *18/ Brenner Tocatta (7:42) - slow & quiet start swings to uptempo & fades | ||
