solo piano canon, introspective, spiritual. from the notes, " Geri envisioned this project as the music of Taylor, Tyner and Hancock entering the prism that is Geri Allen, only to be bent, reshaped and colored anew, resulting in a flight of light and sound". 3 videos included, all tracks are outstanding. Composed during her 2008 Guggenheim Fellowship. 1: 6:04 for McCoy Tyner, a bit more abstract 2: 5:56 for Herbie Hancock, orchestral 3: 4:25 for Cecil Taylor, percussive, polyrhythmic 4: 16:06 the spiritual centerpiece 5: 3:24 for Cecil Taylor, percussive, polyrhythmic 6: 7:00 a tribute to mothers 7: 5:44 dancing through time & space 8: 6:24 for McCoy Tyner 9: 5:05 for her son, mellow D Farrell 04/2010 | ||
