Free Music Review: One of the best CD purchases I have ever made
Hit: 5 Stars
I do not just say this due to the expected technical mastery and good composition, but because this is a very tasteful and listenable album. I am at a point in my listening and work as a hobbyist composer/songwriter where it is important to me to create works that one can listen to in various situations.
I just had a somewhat stressful day and after coming home looking through my CD's I decided to put this one on. It has the desired effect of personal focus and it is just really good music. I have also played this CD at dinner parties, in the car, etc. It works well in all situations yet can be listened to in great detail with all of the expected interest generated.
I have not commented on a product in sometime. Thanks guys, I know for the two of you this was probably just 3-5 days of collaboration but you hit the sweet spot.
The Enchantment Poster
Fans of legendary jazz pianist Chick Corea and bebop/bluegrass banjo virtuoso B?la Fleck are well aware of the pair's previous collaborations (Corea guests on two Flecktones albums, and Fleck appears on Corea's Rendezvous in New York DVD), but their first full-length release should surprise even their most jaded followers. The two went into the project with intense seriousness of purpose, Corea writing four pieces and Fleck six. (The standard "Brazil" is their only cover.) They push each other hard in adapting their instruments to genres (bluegrass, country, Latin, ragtime, classical, blues, and world) normally outside their idioms, Corea playing 'grassy banjo patterns on the piano on Fleck's mournful "Mountain" and Fleck stretching on Corea's suite-like "Joban Dna Nopia." With few exceptions, the compositions are only frameworks for vast improvisation, which might be expected. But instead of setting each other up for extended solos, Corea and Fleck join together with breathtaking precision and verve, weaving and intertwining through remarkable contrapuntal excursions, only to break and meet up again in perfect sync. Despite the thrill of Fleck's chromatic chases and classical flirtations and Corea's mastery of difficult lines on Fleck's rippling "Spectacle," one can't help but think they would have benefited from a tad more instrumentation--especially bass and percussion. Perhaps that's the next step this wickedly inventive duo wll take in their ongoing odyssey of genius. --Alanna NashJazz Music CDs
