Konstantin Vassiliev’s music synthesises several different styles including jazz, Russian folk music and contemporary Western traditions. This album contains music written over a 22-year period, with three works composed specifically for guitar soloist Yuri Liberzon. The Hommage à Tom Jobin was inspired by one of the creators of the bossa nova style, while the melancholic and lyrical contrasts of Rose in the Snow reveal Vassiliev’s gift for storytelling. Arias, romantic miniatures, variations and multi-character episodes further reveal Vassiliev to be a vibrant and exciting composer of wide-ranging gifts.

YUKO & JOEY – TIGER WALTZ (2022)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 01:10:39 minutes | 1,27 GB | Genre: Contemporary Jazz, Jazz
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © u n i t
Behind this duo are the Japanese pianist Yuko Oz and the Swiss vibraphonist Erich Fischer, who can also be heard on “Tiger Waltz” as a percussionist and singer. The dialogue between piano and vibraphone is subtle and delicate, on pieces such as “El Ultimo Tango” and “Joey’s Mambo” Latin American influences become clear. But mainly the two masters of the ballad, in songs like “For Juli & Rosina” or “Ballad for Camill” it is the worn melodies that make up the magic of their music. Yuko & Joey are rarely about solo virtuosity, it is listening to each other and exploring the musical material together that is their primary interest. Loosely based on Duke Ellington – “Jazz is the liberty of having a lot of forms” – they engage in stylistic diversity and also discover poetic beauty in traditional formats such as the title track or the “Unison Blues”.

An accomplished horn and viola player, York Bowen is said to have preferred the tone of the viola to the violin. Inspired by the virtuosity and vibrato style of the distinguished violist, Lionel Tertis, Bowen wrote several works for him and became his accompanist. Bowen’s subtle shifts of key and heartfelt melodies are well in evidence here, including the powerful and poised Rhapsody, op.149, considered to be one of his most important works. Gustav Holst’s daughter Imogen is represented here by the open-air freshness of her Four Easy Pieces and the terse, laconic narrative of her Duo for Viola and Piano. Britten’s spiky Waltz is full of 1930s wit.

The West Coast jazz-evoking album jacket of Young the Giant’s self-titled debut doesn’t exactly paint an accurate picture of the California quintet’s breezy modern rock sound, but it does complement it quite nicely. Here’s a band signed to a heavy metal label, whose music is anything but, and which actually excels through recurring shows of subtlety, not force. That’s not to say Young the Giant don’t know how to rock; tracks like “My Body,” “Garands,” and “St. Walker” plug the guitars in and crank them up to that “tough but hooky” sweet spot inhabited by the Kings of Leon and sometimes even My Morning Jacket (whose producer, Bo Koster, adds keyboards to several cuts here). But it’s dreamier fare like opener “Apartment,” “Guns Out,” and the vaguely Hawaiian “Strings” that really pricks the ears like Fleet Foxes-lite (or may Nada Surf 2.0): all soothing murmurs and sumptuous warm melodies — minus about a million multi-tracked parts. The band really only gets into trouble when “I Got,” “Cough Syrup,” and a few other tunes float dangerously close to the Coldplay clouds, saving face only by the skin of their teeth. (Another track, “Your Side,” has nothing but guest keyboards from Jellyfish alum Roger Manning Jr. to recommend it.) Nevertheless, there’s an unquestionably seductive flow about Young the Giant’s debut that’s sure to lure in many wandering postmodern rock children, looking for alternatives beyond the same old blockbuster bands name-checked above. – Eduardo Rivadavia

Yoann Loustalot – Yeti (2022)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/44,1 kHz | Time – 43:12 minutes | 443 MB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Pure Capture Publishing
Yoann Loustalot is a melodic and singular voice of the European trumpet, with a unique sound. For this new trio, he brings together the guitarist Giani Caserotto and the drummer Stefano Lucchini. The music proposed by the group oscillates between compositions and total improvisations. – This atypical trio, formed by these exceptional musicians, takes us into its poetic and virtuoso universe. – In the mid-1990s, Dave Douglas’s Tiny Bell Trio had already carved out a niche in this unusual playing configuration: trumpet, guitar and drums. Here, Yoann Loustalot’s Yéti Trio experiments with this orchestral formula, and records a first LP that makes a mark. This trio is, associated to the delicate and vehement trumpet or to the sovereign and capricious flugelhorn of the leader-artist Yoann Loustalot; its crest lines, its loving murmurs, the dilating lyricism of Giani Caserotto’s guitar; its supersonic saturations and other zebras, and the voluptuousness and other rhythmic intensities of Stefano Lucchini’s drums; its nuances and other veins. Clearly a superlative listening (jazz privileges the being together, this game of egos without the heaviness and other impediments of the ego). Listening, space, fluidity, mobility. This is a powerfully orchestral triangular game; versatile, the functions of each other change. At the turn of the moment. The nine tracks on this record are only first takes; you can hear it. What do we know about the Yeti (a valid word for scrabble), that abominable snowman who lives in the high Himalayas in Tibet? What do we know about the music of the Yeti Trio? That it goes its own way, in progress, intense, shrouded in solar beauty, snowed under by flashes and purity. (Franck Médioni)

One of the boldest and most radical composers of all time, Alexander Scriabin had a lifelong obsession with occult and mystical ideas. Initially under the influence of Chopin, Wagner and Liszt, his music later became more complex, taking on an expressive power which provoked extreme reactions from audiences – of adulation as well as repulsion. Not shying away from hyperbole, Scriabin once declared: “I am the apotheosis of creation – I am the aim of all aims – I am the end of all ends”.
