After 3 albums honoured by the jazz experts, the 15 musicians from Ping Machine have not run out of ideas and comes back from the Bauer Studios Ludwigsburg/Germany not with one but two discs in the hands.
If UBIK, a long labyrinthine and fascinating suite, which borrows from contemporary and electronic music, should be considered as the centrepiece of this new repertoire, it cannot exist without its counterpart EASY LISTENING which gathers shorter compositions and makes room for lyrical passages, strong and brilliant melodies.
Agitation and Contemplation. Two ways are possible to enter into Frédéric Maurin’s universe, whose composition’s singularity asserts itself once again with EASY LISTENING and UBIK, commissioned by the French State. The orchestral material builds a powerful architecture, with in the heart the willingness of sharing emotions. The collective adventure lived by Ping Machine for 10 years over the albums is strong and impressive, and does not let the listener uninterested.

Albinoni is associated with ” the ” adagio of classical music par excellence. However, it does not come from the genius Venetian, but from the pen of the musicologist Remo Giazotto, who composed it in the 1950s according to fragments attributed to Albinoni. About ten years later, the great conductor Claudio Scimone set out with his chamber orchestra I Solisti Veneti to explore the true Albinoni over a long period of time. This record – historical feat forms the repertoire of the anniversary box-above all with an overwhelming number of instrumental concerts, but also many other discoveries. The composer, who by the way was highly regarded by his German colleague Johann Sebastian Bach, is said to have written 50 operas. Most of them have not survived. An exception is the Festa pastorale Il Nascimento dell’Aurora – a work based on ancient mythologies that Albinoni composed for a birthday celebration in the high nobility and which can be heard here in a live recording from 1983. Other vocal recitals are the Intermezzo Pimpinone and the Serenata Il concilio de ‘ pianeti.

Krein is a masterful arranger who makes the soul of each piece shine in the trio version.

For acclaimed pianist Pina Napolitano, there is no better way of looking at art and history than through the lens of inverted time, from the present to the past. This seems to be what Schoenberg invites us to do in his essay, “Brahms the Progressive”, in which Brahms, often considered a musical “conservative”, becomes instead the father of modernism. This provides the essence of this album: traversing time in two directions, looking at Brahms from the future of the modern Viennese, and vice versa, looking at the Second Viennese School from the past of Brahmsian romanticism.

Logan Richardson Reminds Us What Charlie Parker Was All About. On Sacred Garden, Logan Richardson proves that he remains one of the most essential artists in every conversation about jazz’s present and future.
When I talked with Logan Richardson three years ago about the possible directions jazz could take, he had no doubts that nothing would stop him from accomplishing even the most unconventional ideas, like combining unconditional love for Charlie Parker with a soft spot for the Terminator soundtrack. Sacred Garden confirms that he meant it.

FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/48 kHz | Time – 40:18 minutes | 475 MB | Genre: Electronic, Ambient, Downtempo, Ethereal
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Transatlantic
innerinnerlife’s ‘ILYSM’ is about perfect moments lived and yet to come. Casting back a gaze, indulging the trembling embrace of nostalgia, the border between revisiting the past and remaining there. It’s about teenage epiphanies, the first music-induced skip of a heartbeat; breathing, whispering, feeling. The dazzle of a dream only realised in retrospect.
It’s intimate and glittery. The featherlite driftaways of ‘this reminds me of U’ and ‘if u want’ shimmer like morning light through rain-flecked windows, while Mikey Enwright’s diaristic meditations on ‘airborne’ swirl and sigh over an instrumental that sparkles as it soars. ‘what rhymes with getting by’ and ‘if life was soft’ seem wrapped in soft-spun gauze, delicate like memory. This album grapples with what’s happened and holds its head up high to what’s next. It heals and it pulls apart. It knows life is imperfect but contains perfection.

Following the acclaim that has greeted each of her Odradek releases, Italian pianist Pina Napolitano brings her exceptional intellect and musicality to the works of Elliott Carter and, in his 250th anniversary year, Beethoven.Pina Napolitano is celebrated for her ability to find intricate connections between composers of different eras, as demonstrated in her previous release, ‘Brahms the Progressive’, in which she found the relationships between Brahms and the composers of the Second Viennese School.In ‘Tempo e Tempi’, Pina Napolitano traces patterns of connection between Carter and Beethoven, composers whose music exhibits both power and playfulness, combining taut structures with the freedom of fantasia.’Tempo e Tempi’ (Time and Times) takes its name from a poem by Eugenio Montale set to music by Carter in a song cycle of 1998-99. The poem encapsulates two central aspects of this album: the relationships between different superimposed musical times, independent but proportionally interrelated, so important to Carter’s music, and the relationship between historical times, which makes possible the ‘meeting’ between these two composers from different epochs.Like Carter, Beethoven combines the rigours of a strong structural background on this recording with elements of fantasy.
