Lathe Of Heaven

Opis

Lathe of HeavenOpis:Product DescriptionMark Turner is one of the most admired saxophonists of his generation, renowned for his exploratory intellect and intimate expressivity on the full range of the tenor. Turner leads a quartet of kindred spirits here, often entwining in serpentine fashion with rising-star trumpeter Avishai Cohen. They play long, introspective lines of hypnotic grace; and with the lithe rhythm section of bassist Joe Martin and drummer Marcus Gilmore, there is subtle volatility in the air. 'Lathe of Heaven', produced by Manfred Eicher at New York's Avatar Studio in June 2013, has a long-breathed essence characteristic of Turner's work, with melody taking primacy. There is mystery to the album, a quality of patient storytelling to the compositions. The music also echoes with allusions to literature and relationships key to Turner's personality as a musician. The album's title references Ursula K. Le Guin's 1971 science fiction novel of the same name. There are also gestural allusions to Miles Davis and Wayne Shorter, as well as Stevie Wonder. One of the highlights is "Year of the Rabbit," a rangy counterpart to the title track of Fly's 2012 ECM release, Year of the Snake. And the closer on 'Lathe of Heaven', the melodically haunting "Brother Sister," is a new, more expansive version of a piece first heard on that Fly album. This is Mark Turner's ECM leader debut, following albums for the label in the cooperative trio Fly with Larry Grenadier and Jeff Ballard (beginning with 'Sky & Country'), and appearances on key recordings by Billy Hart ('All Our Reasons' & 'One Is The Other'), Enrico Rava ('New York Days') and Stefano Bollani's simultaneously-released 'Joy In Spite Of Everything'. Personnel: Mark Turner (tenor saxophone), Avishai Cohen (trumpet), Joe Martin (double bass), Marcus Gilmore (drums)Review(5 stars) It's a literate collection of clearly articulated ideas, free from pyrotechnics but full of furtive passages, emotion and harmony. --All About Jazz, (Karl Ackermann), September 2, 2014(4 stars) Turner is the virtuoso everybody in contemporary jazz wants on their albums...

The set sometimes sounds like Birth of the Cool tunes floated over a 21st-century rhythmic concept, and it'll be a 2014 polls contender for sure. --The Guardian, (John Fordham), October 2, 2014(4 stars) Through his work with Fly and Billy Hart's quartet Turner has proved that he is a responsive and attentive accompanist, and what this album shows is how much he has retained those qualities in the role of leader, all the while bringing his wholly individual narrative voice to the fore. It takes an artist of integrity to do as much, and he is that and more. --Jazzwise, (Kevin Le Gendre), October 2014(4 stars) Turner's steady rise to the front ranks of contemporary improvisers is testament to a unique combination of attitude, ability, sound and imagination. Inventive and subtly unpredictable...

An auspicious label debut from a master musician. --The Irish Times, (Cormac Larkin), September 12, 2014(4 stars) This album marks the end of a 12-year hiatus. Turner is one of the few contemporary players to learn from Warne Marsh...

The presence of trumpet in place of a chordal instrument makes for a pleasingly dry sound. --Jazz Journal, (Andy Hamilton), October 2014Autor:Mark Turner QuartetNośnik:Audio CDPłyt:Język: English: Published; English: Original Language; EnglishData wydania: 2014-09-08Waga: 0.18 gramWysokość: 0.4 cmSzerokość: 5 cmDługość: 5.6 cmLathe of HeavenProduct type: ABIS MUSICBrand: ECM RECORDSUWAGA: Kupując produkt na tej aukcji zgadzasz się na wydłużony termin realizacji wysyłki (10-14 dni roboczych).
