The Blue Land Matthieu Bordenave SKU: 5899301 Barcode: 602458993011 22.00 £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ECM Released Date: 5th April 2024 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info For the follow-up of his ECM-leader-debut La traversee, French saxophonist Matthieu Bordenave expands his trio of German pianist Florian Weber and French bassist Patrice Moret with the unique sensibilities of drummer James Maddren, whose unrelenting pulse adds deft counterpoint to the group’s already idiosyncratic sound. Beyond the soulfully angular rendering of John Coltrane’s “Compassion”, the quartet tackles eight Bordenave-originals that bridge the gap between chamber-jazz dynamics and post-swing designs. Weber and Bordenave’s oblique approach to their instruments – Bordenave can be heard on both tenor and soprano sax – coalesce seamlessly, spinning unanticipated lines over a highly interactive rhythm section. The Blue Land was recorded in Pernes-Les-Fontaines in 2022, and produced by Manfred Eicher. Matthieu Bordenave: tenor saxophone Florian Weber: piano Patrice Moret: double bass James Maddren: drums “A delicate tightrope is trodden between tonal and abstract during the ominous title track, while Weber shifts from Jarrett-like piano on Coltrane’s ‘Compassion’ to a gently meditative hum on a Bordenave original ‘Cyrus’. It makes for an intriguing, collectively expressive set of chamber ensemble pieces.” – **** Jazzwise “For this gently challenging, quietly evocative and engrossing follow-up of his ECM-leader-debut “La traversée”, Bordenave expands his trio with the unique sensibilities of drummer James Maddren, whose deft touch and unrelenting pulse adds a perfect counterpoint to the group’s already idiosyncratic sound.” – **** UK Vibe “Sumptuously recorded at Studios La Buissonne in Pernes-Les-Fontaines, the same trio of Bordenave, Weber and Moret is this time augmented by London-based James Maddren, who brings both a sense of steel and his characteristic rhythmic guile.” – LondonJazz News “A wonderful album, and it will be fascinating to hear where the saxophonist takes is music going forward.” – Jazz Views Artist Matthieu Bordenave Genre Jazz Label ECM Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings La porte entrouverte The Blue Land Compassion Cyrus Refraction Distance Three Four Timbre Three Peaks Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Jazz View Product Quick View Ornette Coleman At The Town Hall, December 1962 Jazz | Wax Love | 1LP Released 20th April 2018 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ornette Coleman At The Town Hall, December 1962 £14.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Wax Love SKU: WLV82040 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th April 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Bill Evans At The Montreux Jazz Festival Jazz | Analogue Productions | 1LP Released 13th March 2024 £28.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Bill Evans At The Montreux Jazz Festival £28.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions SKU: nn282662 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th March 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Mathias Eick Skala Jazz | ECM | 180g, 1LP Released 11th April 2011 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mathias Eick Skala £16.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ECM SKU: 2763107 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 11th April 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lionel Hampton All Stars Black Forest Vibes Jazz | Mig Music | 1LP Released 28th July 2023 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lionel Hampton All Stars Black Forest Vibes £25.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Mig Music SKU: HGBS202161 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 28th July 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Yusef Lateef Jazz For The Thinker Jazz | Go Bop | 1LP Released 2nd February 2018 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Yusef Lateef Jazz For The Thinker £21.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Go Bop SKU: GB015LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd February 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Brad Mehldau Your Mother Should Know: Brad Mehldau Plays The Beatles Jazz | Nonesuch | 1LP Released 10th February 2023 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Brad Mehldau Your Mother Should Know: Brad Mehldau Plays The Beatles £25.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Nonesuch SKU: 0075597909357 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th February 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Miles Davies You’re Under Arrest Jazz | Get On Down | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 23rd September 2022 £32.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Miles Davies You’re Under Arrest £32.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Get On Down SKU: GET51473LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 23rd September 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Count Basie This Time By Basie Jazz | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 28th April 2014 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Count Basie This Time By Basie £19.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1074 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 28th April 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tubby Hayes Band Modes and Blues: Live at Ronnie Scotts, 8th February 1964 Jazz | Gearbox | 180g, 1LP Released 31st March 2017 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tubby Hayes Band Modes and Blues: Live at Ronnie Scotts, 8th February 1964 £21.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Gearbox SKU: RSGB1013 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 31st March 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ahmad Jamal Emerald City Nights – Live At The Penthouse 1965-1966 (Vol.2) Jazz | Elemental | 2LP Released 25th November 2022 £47.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Ahmad Jamal Emerald City Nights – Live At The Penthouse 1965-1966 (Vol.2) £47.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Elemental SKU: DDJD-002 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 25th November 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket See more in Jazz Start again
