Beethoven: Cello Sonata No. 4; Variations

In the spirit of continuity and tradition, producers Richard Seidel and Don Sickler gathered the pick of the litter for a convocation over the still-warm remains of Charlie Parker, the most vital, visionary figure in 20th Century music. What makes PARKER'S MOOD so special, and so refreshingly different from your typical Bird blowing session, is the sense of intimacy and interchange, as trumpeter, bassist and pianist take on these complex rhythms and melodies, gathered in a circle, live to two-track, without the aid of a drummer.
As a result, PARKER'S MOOD is full of surprises. Not the least of which is the recorded sound, which is resoundingly deep and full of detail, with a real sense of air and space. Much of the credit must go to McBride, whose enormous beat ("Marmaduke"), witty arco work ("Steeplechase") and thundering blues drive ("Red Cross"), and authentic downhome funk ("Star Eyes") are as close to an ideal acoustic bass sound as this generation of players has yet produced.
The taciturn, reticent qualities which distinguish Stephen Scott's piano playing, make him and ideal partner in these proceedings. On "Laura" his serene, bell-like chords frame Hargrove's taut delivery of the melody in dreamy shades of turquoise and green, and his solo makes thoughtful use of space and dynamic contrasts to bring home the point--sweet and romantic without blubbering all over the chords. And check out his solo on "Bongo Bop"--the brother can swing. And Hargrove, always known for his chops, seems to find a new gravity in Bird's intricate melodies, from the muted joy of "Dexterity" through the dancing whimsy of "Chasin' The Bird."
Recorded at Effanel Music Studio, New York, New York from April 12-14, 1995. Includes liner notes by Bret Primack and Jim Anderson.

| | Roots Of Gamelan: The First Recordings CD (1999)
Beethoven: Cello Sonata No. 4; Variations
$14.59
Recordings found in a private collection stemming from a failed attempt at creating an indigenous market for gamelan music in 1928. The record series from which these recordings came failed miserably, but the performances themselves are quite well-done, and among other things provided inspiration for composer Colin McPhee (whose work is presented at the end of the album). The album starts out with a good deal of the gong kebyar form, with the piece "Kebyar Ding" broken into six movements (for recording onto the old 78s), followed by a pair of short, stand-alone works in the kebyar style. From there, it moves into a few pieces in the pelegongan form, telling a bit of the Calonarang epic, and adding in a pair of original compositions by I Wayan Lotring. A short stop in Northwest Bali for a pair of gong kebyar numbers leads the way to a gender wayan composition (for use with the wayang kulit shadow plays). A short composition in the jangger style is followed by a pair of gamelan angklung works, leading the way to the finale of the album. For the final number of tracks, Colin McPhee himself (along with Benjamin Britten) performs piano transcriptions of the music he was unable to record aurally while staying in Bali. It's a thoroughly detached version of gamelan, free of the ringing intonation that so much defines the genre. Nonetheless, it's an interesting attempt at converting the sounds into those of the piano. Flutist Georges Berrčre provides accompaniment as well on a few tracks. It's an interesting mix of the old forms of gamelan and the earliest attempts at Western instrumentation using Balinese music as inspiration. The gamelan represented here is itself enough of a reason to give the album a listen or two, and the piano versions are simply additional treats for the curious armchair music historian. ~ Adam Greenberg
Recorded in Bali in 1928 and New York, New York in 1941.
