Con il Quintet Hot Club de France. Un classico.

2 LP in un CD. I classici Bossa Nova Carnival e Limbo Carnival, da molti anni fuori catalogo. Rimasterizzato 2012.

John Medeski, leader del trio Medeski, Martin & Wood, esordisce come solista con un disco di piano. Diverso da quanto ha fatto sino ad ora, diverso anche dal disco in duo con Matthew Shipp, Medeski offre un lavoro in cui prevale la sua vena intimista.

Nuovo lavoro, 2018, per il promettente trombettista ECM, qui supportato da Hakon Aase, violin, Andreas Ulvo, piano, Audun Erlien, basso, Torstein Lofthus, batteria, Helger Andreas Norbakken, batteria.

Il primo album del chitarrista jazz americano

ECM 2842. In Time Is A Blind Guide è in atto una rara alchimia acustica. I cambiamenti nella formazione hanno guidato e contribuito a plasmare il carattere musicale dell'ensemble del batterista norvegese Thomas Strønen e nella terza registrazione del gruppo assistiamo ancora una volta ad un cambiamento, con Leo Svensson Sander che sostituisce Lucy Railton al violoncello. La nuova voce si fonde perfettamente con il suono tranquillo dell'ensemble, con una Ayumi Tanaka precisissima che si muove con empatia sulla tastiera, rispondendo agli strati percussivi di Strønen, al contrabbasso di Ole Morten Vågan e al violino lirico di Håkon Aase. A volte i tre strumenti a corda del gruppo formano un solido trio che entra in un dialogo riflessivo con il pianoforte e le percussioni, ma per la maggior parte il ritmo del gruppo funziona come un tutt'uno, con ogni strumento che entra ed esce dinamicamente dalla scena, catturato nella ben nota acustica del Rainbow Studio di Oslo, sotto la produzione di Manfred Eicher.

The quartet is in one continous single movement. For ease of navigation and reference, there have been included arbitrary track markers on each CD. For the most part, this has been done in five-page score increments; with exceptions due to the limitations of the CD length.

This complete work lasts 6 hours, 7 minutes and 7 seconds. There is also a DVD version of the complete 5 disc set released under the same catalog number in which one could listen to the complete work uninterrupted.
