Copland-Abercrombie-Wheeler • Brand New

 

The second release of this marvelous trio. Each of these men are well established leaders in their own right. Kenny Wheeler, giant of European Jazz, composer, truly original improviser, with an individual sound and approach to music that will enter your soul instantly; John Abercrombie, a remarkable guitarist, well known for his collaborations with Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette, known for his work as a leader since many years, but also known from groups with Charles Lloyd and many others. The pianist that initiated the trio: Marc Copland, one of the real poets of the instrument. These three men created a transparent music that balances on the edge, that is strong at some times, vulnerable at other moments; many times surprising, mostly lyrical, often melancholy, but always real. The linear, counterpoint approach is strengthened by the absence of bass and drums. Three instruments, weaving their lines together into an intricate patchwork of golden melodies.

This time, producer Hein Van de Geyn took the band into a lovely little church in Tilburg (Holland). Here they found the right atmosphere, a truly exceptional Steinway, and the acoustics to record the music in the best way. During two relaxed, yet intense days the music was put down on tape and was later mixed in the excellent studio LeRoy in Amsterdam. Similar to the first recording of the trio, we have a repertoire that gives us compositions of all three players, and a very special rendition of Nat Adderley’s famous song “Work Song” as well as one tune from the standard repertoire: “Taking A Chance On Love”. A magic band, a magic recording.

El segundo lanzamiento de este maravilloso trío. Cada uno de estos hombres son líderes bien establecidos por derecho propio. Kenny Wheeler, gigante del Jazz europeo, compositor, improvisador verdaderamente original, con un sonido individual y un enfoque de la música que te entrará en el alma al instante; John Abercrombie, un guitarrista notable, conocido por sus colaboraciones con Dave Holland y Jack DeJohnette, conocido por su trabajo como líder desde hace muchos años, pero también conocido por grupos con Charles Lloyd y muchos otros. El pianista que inició el trío: Marc Copland, uno de los verdaderos poetas del instrumento. Estos tres hombres crearon una música transparente que se equilibra al límite, que es fuerte en algunos momentos, vulnerable en otros momentos; muchas veces sorprendente, sobre todo lírico, muchas veces melancólico, pero siempre real. El enfoque lineal y de contrapunto se ve reforzado por la ausencia de bajo y batería. Tres instrumentos, entrelazando sus líneas en un intrincado mosaico de melodías doradas.

Esta vez, el productor Hein Van de Geyn llevó a la banda a una pequeña y encantadora iglesia en Tilburg (Holanda). Aquí encontraron la atmósfera adecuada, un Steinway verdaderamente excepcional y la acústica para grabar la música de la mejor manera. Durante dos días relajados pero intensos, la música fue grabada y luego mezclada en el excelente estudio LeRoy de Amsterdam. Al igual que en la primera grabación del trío, tenemos un repertorio que nos brinda composiciones de los tres intérpretes y una interpretación muy especial de la famosa canción "Work Song" de Nat Adderley, así como una melodía del repertorio estándar: "Taking A Chance". Enamorado". Una banda mágica, una grabación mágica.
