| | Ryan Haines Big Band New Horizons CD Ryan Haines Big Band Discography of CDs
Trombonist Ryan Haines' second Sea Breeze CD is a swinging big band session, full of potent originals and tight ensembles. The leader is the featured soloist in the catchy Latin-flavored "New Horizons," with a seemingly endless fountain of ideas. The swinging saxes and muted brass in "Swing Open" suggest the influence of Woody Herman's bands of the late '40s, as does the peppy "Pan-Fried Doodles." "Without You (For Matthew)" has a melancholy theme and driving rhythm, backed by his richly textured brass and reed arrangements. Haines' playful "A Problem with the Sun" has inspired trumpet solos by Tim Leahey and Rich Sigler, with a slight Mexican slant to the rhythm section. Haines' "Goodnight Story" is a warm ballad feature for his mellow trombone, which almost seems to be serenading a child to sleep. The one piece not written by the leader is the old chestnut "America the Beautiful," with a lush introduction and a contemporary rhythm behind tenor saxophonist Tedd Baker's solo. Highly recommended. ~ Ken Dryden

New Horizons songs
$13.19
New York-based composer Michael Harrison studied Indian Classical music with Pandit Pran Nath and worked very closely with composer La Monte Young on his magnum keyboard opus, The Well Tuned Piano. Harrison is regarded as an expert and creative mind in the field of tuning and the possibilities inherent in "just intonation" where the distance between pitches is derived from mathematical formulas rather than from the familiar system of equal temperament used in the tuning of most pianos. After a 1999 concert in Europe where Harrison performed as part of a piano quartet also comprising Philip Glass, Terry Riley, and Charlemagne Palestine, he happened to conceive a tuning that maximized the number of "commas" available on the piano. A comma is a minutely different tuning of the same pitch; Harrison was well aware that it was the comma that early piano makers sought to eliminate, developing equal temperament as means to avoid it. For the nest six years, Harrison worked on exploring the timbral possibilities of this "revelation" tuning, as he termed it, and ultimately produced his "magnum opus," Revelation, of which this Cantaloupe release is the first recording.
