Rated 4/5
Review by Bissia Jul 11, 2009
Contemporary unlimited amount of available tools of all sort most gravitating around computed data and elaborated software with countless plug-ins providing an infinite amount of possibilities to music creators these days, to get what?
Unimaginative 'dance' formula copycat crap emulating what could eventually be called music unable to reach any depth in feelings or emotions (if you kids aren't on drug and even then). Jack Dejohnette concluding this compilation of works here just need a piano and a friend with a mandolin another with a bass, nothing more to prove brillianty that not much gear is needed to deliver. Blissfull but also melancolic -and- very nice sounding compositions, able to transport you off gravity all the same. Computer boffins tweaking muzak complaining they miss this or that plug-in or software or special device to achive what they envision are missing the point and are to ridicule, for they just cannot play, not even in a non academic just playful way, as a three chords New-Wave riff could suffice. Enjoying this release of deep music from a land outside 4/4 totalitarism is a sweet joy.
