Information: |
Chick Lyall is a truly world class piano soloist who is here
joined by one of the leading figures in contemporary European
jazz, the deeply intelligent and creative saxophonist Joakim
Milder to create an album of wonderful, full-on, creativity.
This is grown up jazz at its sensual best featuring exquisitely
beautiful folktinged compositions, sitting alongside exhilirating
group improvisations which develop like soundtracks to unseen
movies of great intimacy and drama.
Don't be put off by the i or c words here (ie improvisation
and creativity), it contains a varied mix of reckless swing,
a cooler ECM style beauty, and uninhibited group explorations
that never go where the sun don't shine and often end up finding
moments of great tenderness and calm. To give cognoscenti reference
points one could mention the Dewey Redman/Paul Motian band led
by Keith Jarret as a point of origin, but that is one source
amongst many. This CD is essentially contemporary, intelligent,
and deeply felt acoustic European jazz of the highest quality.
