| | Myra Melford Even The Sounds Shine CD Myra Melford Discography of CDs
Myra Melford Extended Ensemble: Myra Melford (piano); Marty Ehrlich (alto saxophone, clarinet); Dave Douglas (trumpet); Lindsey Horner (bass); Reggie Nicholson (drums).
This release from Myra Melford's first Extended Ensemble tour -- trumpeter Dave Douglas and saxophonist Marty Ehrlich were added to a trio which included bassist Lindsey Horner and drummer Reggie Nicholson -- is revealing in that it displays more than any of her other recordings; she's charting her own development while in transition. Of the five pieces here, two, "That The Peace," and "Evening Might Still" were written purposely for the trio plus horns; they score in lots of room for improvisation and dynamic while being closely arranged. Of the others which were written for the trio and expanded upon, the "La Mezquita Suite," which encompasses four different compositions, explores how many pairings and trios can exist inside them. There is plenty of room for soloing, but it is interesting to note how Melford's own role changes from one movement to the next. The title composition is an exercise in both the interplay of sonorities and in how, in various intervals, one instrument, when shaded by others, can take on an entirely different persona. In all, Even The Sounds Shine is a beautifully guided tour through Melford's musical psyche of the time. Possibilities and problems present themselves with startling regularity and are either resolved, transmuted, or abandoned. This is exhilarating listening, and a historical look at Melford's development as a composer as she moved from her trio setting into something more dimensional and challenging. ~ Thom Jurek

Long-revered session drummer Vinnie Colaiuta jets to fusion's version of The Twilight Zone on his Stretch Records debut, a multi-influential, hardcore player's fiesta rife with moody effects, monster expressions by all his high-powered pals, and decadent experimentation. So, is that good or bad? Depends on your perspective. From a purely artistic point of view, if your listening palette can handle ...
| | Bert Seager Freedom Of Assembly CD (2000) Import
Even The Sounds Shine songs
$13.25
Boston pianist Seager, now 45 years old, has been heard with combos on other recordings, but here it's a trio setting, and the musicians live up to the title. Introspective, richly harmonic textures and freely associated ideas are stuck together with hints of rhythmic structure and swing. Seager emphasizes that these are spontaneous compositions that were given titles after they were recorded. Inevitable comparisons to Keith Jarrett come to mind, but Seager is his own man, as are his line mates, bassist George Donchev and drummer Nat Mugavero. Perhaps it is the rhythmic context and dynamic shadings which set these pieces apart. "Preamble" is a free mezzo piano improv that leads to an uppity, bop-flavored "Public Ptomaine" where no discernable single melody dominates, but the notes fly fast and furious at you. "Warp & Woof" seems based simply on Seager's clever whims as the other two respond accordingly, while Duke Ellington's "I Got It Bad" is an exercise in "how slow can you go?." Industrial noise turns to churning strings of spontaneous thoughts on a non-fat "Free Lunch," while the trio dips further into midnight blue, labyrinth darkness in rubato fashion with slight "Witchcraft" quotes during "Naked Eye Astronomy." There are two versions of Irving Berlin's "Remember"; both skate around the melody, ...
| | Nirvana CD (1993)
Even The Sounds Shine album
$10.45
IN UTERO was nominated for a 1994 Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album.
"All Apologies" was nominated for 1995 Grammy Awards for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal and for Best Rock Song.
"Teenage angst has paid off well," growls Kurt Cobain on IN UTERO's opening fusilade, "Serve The Servants," suggesting that perhaps success has spoiled Nirvana. Not! IN UTERO is a howling, defiantly punkish recording, an unsentimental throwback to an era of garage band epiphanies and raw, unadorned rock and roll. On IN UTERO, Nirvana rails against both "alternative" conformity and polished notions of commercial rock with the anthemic rage of true outcasts.
Engineer-producer Steve Albini has enabled Nirvana to replicate the savage immediacy of their live sound--the sound of a band without commercial aspirations or pretensions, just thrashing away for the sheer joy of noise. Drummer Dave Grohl and bassist Krist Novoselic play with heroic power as guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Kurt Cobain overlays their growling beat with shards of broken glass and shattered dreams.
On "Scentless Apprentice" each Cobain power chord is tempered by a series of calculated dissonances and melodic fragments, while the singer bares his vulnerability and anger through Nirvana's familiar soft-hard-soft-hard structures on "Heart Shaped Box" and "Rape Me." Through his crunching guitar and elliptical lyrics on various diseases and recoveries, Cobain lays bare the turmoil and resentments, the physical and mental ailments (self-inflicted ...
