John Stein • Watershed

 

It’s familiar, yet not . . . As always, John Stein gently pushes the familiar into unfamiliar territory. The performance is accessible, yet challenging. It’s the subtle insurrection of John Stein’s music that slays me . . . Stein surreptitiously inserts rhythms, melodies, and, well, insurrection, in a way that seduces you. His touch on the strings is lyrical, graceful, and emotional. The keyboard . . . demonstrates Daniel Grajew’s incredible rhythmic sophistication, as well as his soulful, melodic sense, and is propelled by the deep grooves created by the rhythm section (John Thomas, from the liner notes).

Es familiar, pero a la vez no lo es... Como siempre, John Stein empuja suavemente lo familiar hacia un territorio desconocido. La interpretación es accesible, pero a la vez desafiante. Es la sutil rebelión de la música de John Stein lo que me cautiva... Stein inserta subrepticiamente ritmos, melodías y, bueno, rebelión, de una manera que te seduce. Su toque en las cuerdas es lírico, elegante y emotivo. El teclado... demuestra la increíble sofisticación rítmica de Daniel Grajew, así como su sentido melódico y conmovedor, y está impulsado por los profundos grooves creados por la sección rítmica (John Thomas, de las notas del disco).
