FENOMMEDIA 002
By Adam Baruch
The music is a logical and
linear continuation of the ideas that were first developed on the preceding
album, deepening the trio's coherence and spiritual unity. There is no doubt
that this music is significantly more "unchained", with a lot of
breathing space and bolder experimentation, expanding the boundaries of the
trio's telepathic creative process. But miraculously the new degree of freedom
does not impair the warmth, intimacy and melodic contents this music so
wonderfully amalgamates. It is a superb example of the "less is more"
approach, where each single note counts and subdued energies penetrate deeper
than volume.
Of course there are plenty of
energetic and spirited moments, when the music reaches ecstatic levels, but
even then everything happens in perfect harmony and intrinsic tidiness, which
often is completely lost in the heat of Improvised Music created by others. The
idea to play relatively short pieces with changing motifs, as opposed to expanded
improvised passages lasting for long periods of time, works excellently herein.
These great musicians do not need to prove anything and obviously play the
music enjoying the aesthetics of creation a new expression of their inner
selves, rather than showing off their talents.
This is definitely one of my
favorite Polish Jazz albums, which is after all hardly surprising, as my work
as a producer with the Israeli clarinetist Harold Rubin is in many respects
quite similar. The clarinet produces a heartwarming sound, which is simply
irresistible and in the hands of a Master becomes an extension of the human
voice. Combined with an intelligent and extremely musical rhythm section, like
in this case, the result turns into some of the most moving and poignant music
one can experience.
This is a classic album in
every respect, which should be included on the short "must hear" list
anywhere on this planet where people still listen to meaningful music. The
depth of the experience this music generates is of course very personal, but I
can hardly imagine a music connoisseur left untouched by it. Respect!
