The follow-up to 1983's PAST LIGHT, 1986's CONFERRING WITH THE MOON continues that album's exploration of new settings for William Ackerman's inimitable guitar style. The album expands on its predecessor by increasing the number and variety of instruments Ackerman plays with, but it steps back from that album's sometimes over-filled, busy arrangements by focusing on duets and trios.

Ackerman's own guitar playing, as usual, is overdubbed to add richness and depth to the sound, to the extent that his solo performance of the title track sounds in spots like two or three guitarists playing nearly--but not quite--the same piece. Elsewhere, shards of keyboard, both electric and acoustic, buffer Ackerman's watery yet never aimless playing, with reeds and percussion appearing occasionally for color. These 11 brief pieces explore and develop a variety of moods.

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars A Continued love affair
I fell in love with this release when it was on tape in the 80's. I have worn the tape out and needed to replace. I love it more now than I did then.

Jan Garbarek Dresden: In Concert CDs  (2009)

Conferring With The Moon
CD $22.25  Top 100 Audio Samples
It's hard to believe that after recording as a leader for 40 years, DRESDEN: IN CONCERT is Jan Garbarek's first-ever live album. For those who think that Garbarek abandoned jazz some time ago, this will be a shock. DRESDEN is an engaged, kinetic, double-disc, two-hour performance of his quartet playing in the modern jazz idiom and using all of its tenets--from complex harmonics and rhythmic invention to extended lyric improvisation--to create a tour de force that honors all the music he holds dear. Garbarek plays tenor, soprano, and selje flute here, and is accompanied by his regular group that includes drummer Manu Katche, pianist/keyboadist Rainer ...

This release includes a bonus DVD featuring a music video for Disturbed's "Liberate." Anyone curious about the state of nu-metal in 2004 need look no further than MUSIC AS A WEAPON II, named after the second successful tour led by headliners Disturbed. Along for the ride on this compilation of live performances are Chevelle, Taproot, and Unloco. On stage, as in the studio, Chevelle's Loeffler brothers proudly wear the odd-tuning and off-kilter-tempo influence of Tool on their sleeves by way of "Forfeit" and "The Red," brandishing an intriguing maelstrom of riffs. Taproot equally stakes its ground by punctuating loud-soft dynamics with Stephen Richards's sporadic death metal yowl on "Myself" and "Poem." But of all the bands on this bill, Disturbed is the most adept at breaking away from the screaming aesthetic that defines so much of nu-metal. Frontman David Draiman is a quietly intense vocalist whose glowering presence on an acoustic version of "Darkness" and the previously unreleased "Dehumanized" make for a far more powerful effect than any amount of amped-up distortion or howling can achieve. The piece de resistance is Disturbed's take on Metallica's "Fade to Black," a reading that perfectly captures the power and nuance of the original. This 2-CD + DVD combination ...
Somewhere: The Songs Of Leonard Bernstein
Bill Charlap Somewhere: The Songs Of Leonard Bernstein CD  (2004)

Conferring With The Moon
CD $12.49  5 stars Audio Samples
Composer songbook albums performed by jazz instrumentalists are nothing new, but pianist Bill Charlap's takes on the exuberant and tender tunes of Leonard Bernstein make for an inspired addition to this tradition. From the opening trill on drummer Kenny Washington's hi-hat, "Cool" (from WEST SIDE STORY) kicks off the proceedings, crackling with excitement. The entire track is superb, and makes one wonder why this song has not become a standard. The performers stretch out, listening intently to one another and coming up with a fine mini-opus on "Glitter and Be Gay" (from CANDIDE), a tune that sports the more European side of Bernstein's style. As groups are wont to do after having logged many musical miles together, Charlap's trio exudes an overall rhythmic adventurousness throughout the set. Nowhere is this better demonstrated than the playfully off-kilter "America," popularized by Rita Moreno in WEST SIDE STORY, which includes tasty Ahmad Jamal-esque chording by Charlap. "Lonely Town," "Lucky to Be Me," and, especially, "Some Other Time" remind listeners that Charlap ...
