What are you listening to right now? (VOL III)

Bought this today and really enjoyed it on first listen. On the ACT label and part of their Young German Jazz series,

Slightly adventurous, challenging, strange noises and then some superb atmospheric trio tunes.

Jorg Brinkmann Trio - Ha!

This was my first Mogwai album, so I would just check out the Amazon reviews for guidance.

Very interested in this, having discovered the joys of Scarlatti earlier this year. What do you make of it Adrian? Thanks also for the Julia Hulsmann tip - she's new to me.

Cheers

Nigel - it is very Scarlatti. I always think Enrico plays jazz with such classical lyricism. This is him doing a classical album and it is of course very lovely. No jazziness to it, just simple solo classical piano. It is very good.

Hulsmann is new to the ECM label. She is another up and coming German jazz musician and looks like she has defected over from ACT. Think I would choose to play on ECM if I had the choice out of the two labels.

Cheers

On ECM - Volume 7 of the Schiff cycle of Beethoven Sonatas

John Martyn's Inside Out

Regards, Chris

Simply awesome album by a living blues man, very reminiscent to SRV's rifts

Hello Haim,

It took me until track 3 before i started to get into it. Sometimes my mind needs time to adapt when confronted with a peculiar music style.
But i can say now that after playing the album, on a few occasions, i do actually like Daniel Brel's 'Quatre chemins de melancolie'. As far as i'm concerned, there's nothing wrong with jazzing up a few basse viols for 21st Century culture.
I think it may be dangerous though... i lent my copy to a colleague-friend. He handed it back to me after the weekend and said that he could only get as far as track 6, he also said he really hated it, and 'it does what is says on the tin'... I think he'd been crying too! : (

What do you think of it, Haim? : )

"Carl Friedrich Abel (1723–1787) was a contemporary of J C Bach, and a fashionable performer and promoter in London in the eighteenth century. By that time the viola da gamba was a rarity, but Abel’s performances sparked a revival of interest among performers and audiences. The works recorded on this disc (six of which have never been previously recorded) can be seen as musical expositions of sensibility, inhabiting the same tragic world as the gamba solos in J S Bach’s Passions. Abel’s contemporary Charles Burney commented on the musician’s ability to ‘breathe’ the notes as he played them, and this extraordinary sensitivity is present too in the beautiful playing of Susanne Heinrich."
