Fantastic Merlins Handful Of Earth CD (2009)

Plates-Formes Et Traquenards songs

$14.79
A mysterious blend of jazz and chamber music brings together the visceral power of Charles Mingus and the sparse textures of Steve Reich through original compositions and improvised pieces - producing sounds that are intriguing, energetic, and positive.RE-INTRODUCING… A new line-up, a new album, a new label: The second release from the Fantastic Merlins represents something of a new beginning for the band. So perhaps reintroductions are in order. NOT THAT MAGICIANLet’s begin at the beginning and clear up any misconceptions about the name. Nope, The Fantastic Merlins weren’t mooning over the sorcerer in King Arthur’s court when they named themselves. Instead they plucked the phrase from a poem by Spanish surrealist Federico Garcia Lorca. Here’s the opening stanza of “Procession”: From the alley cameStrange unicorns.From what field,From which mythic grove?Nearer to hand,They resemble astronomers.Fantastic MerlinsAnd the Ecce Homo.Enchanted Durandarte,Orlando Furioso.As their music reveals, it’s a fitting choice - modernist, playful, and spiked with inviting hints of mystery. GIVE THE DRUMMERS SOMEOriginal drummer and composer Federico Ughi left the band last year when his relocation to Rome made collaborating with the Minneapolis-based Merlins too impractical. “Federico places a huge emphasis on freedom of expression in his playing and interpretation of the music,” says bassist Brian Roessler. “It really helped establish the personality and sound of the band.” Enter new drummer Peter Henning, whose style is more rooted in groove-oriented playing. The band credits him with bringing greater clarity to their arrangements and his compositions have been crucial additions as well. It’s no accident his “Inversion is the Condition,” a brooding mix of beauty and menace, kicks off the album. Henning’s presence represents a subtle reshuffling of the band’s sensibility. THE BENEFIT OF SECOND THOUGHTSA Handful of Earth has been gestating for a couple of years; the band even recorded a version before Ughi left. Reworking songs over a long period often results in fussy and stillborn music, but it’s obvious the Merlins benefited from the opportunity to rethink and reshape this body of work with a new member and handful of fresh compositions. “Our goal was to become simultaneously more cohesive and wide-ranging,” says cellist Jacqueline Ultan. Instead of a mere follow-up to their acclaimed debut, they’ve delivered a decisive artistic leap forwards. “This collection ...

Ari Roland New Music CD (2009)

Plates-Formes Et Traquenards album

$13.25

Fond of straight-ahead neo-bop themes and forward motion, acoustic upright bassist Ari Roland presents a focused and somewhat idiomatic but original kind of jazz that makes one ponder and concentrate a bit harder than if he and his group were playing predictable jazz standards. The nature of his music on this, his third album, sports parameters based in predecessors of the modern mainstream. But there's an edge to it that smells of spicy brown mustard, due to the unusual sound produced by tenor and alto saxophonist Chris Byars. Where lines are blurred and snaky trails are traceable, it is the elusive nature of Byars that compels you to listen closer, lest you miss a significant event. There's a harmonic kinship to Lee Konitz, Jimmy Giuffre, or the music of Andrew Hill that can be identified in the persona of Byars, but it could not ever be mistaken for the sharper tones of Jackie McLean or the rough-and-tumble fleetness of Phil Woods. With the excellent pianist Sacha Perry and reliable drummer Keith Balla, the Roland quartet proves to be a formidable four-piece searching for new swing-based territory to explore. The first three tracks of the recording hold course in a ...
