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 Louis Sclavis Quartet Characters On A Wall Jazz | ECM | 1LP Released 20th September 2019 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Louis Sclavis Quartet Characters On A Wall £17.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ECM SKU: 0804585 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th September 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Grant Green Grantstand Jazz | Analogue Productions | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Gatefold Sleeve Released 12th November 2010 £54.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Grant Green Grantstand £54.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions SKU: ABNJ84086 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 12th November 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Duke Ellington/Johnny Hodges Back To Back Jazz | Analogue Productions | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released 3rd May 2019 £70.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Duke Ellington/Johnny Hodges Back To Back £70.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions SKU: AVRJ6055-45 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released Date: 3rd May 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mahavishnu Orchestra Birds Of Fire Jazz | Speakers Corner | 180g, 1LP Released 22nd February 2019 £34.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Mahavishnu Orchestra Birds Of Fire £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Speakers Corner SKU: KC31996 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 22nd February 2019 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Sarah Vaughan Sarah + 2 Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 18th February 2022 £34.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Sarah Vaughan Sarah + 2 £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: LPS158479 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 18th February 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Skydive Trio Sun Moee Jazz | Hubro | 1LP, Includes CD Released 13th April 2015 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Skydive Trio Sun Moee £17.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Hubro SKU: HUBROLP3537 Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 13th April 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Charles Mingus Mingus, Mingus, Mingus, Mingus, Mingus Jazz | Analogue Productions | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released 15th July 2022 £60.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Charles Mingus Mingus, Mingus, Mingus, Mingus, Mingus £60.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions SKU: AIPJ 54 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released Date: 15th July 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Keith Jarrett The Melody At Night, With You Jazz | ECM | 1LP Released 7th June 2019 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Keith Jarrett The Melody At Night, With You £18.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ECM SKU: 7742659 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 7th June 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers Like Someone In Love Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 18th August 2016 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers Like Someone In Love £21.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: LP84245 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 18th August 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Slowly Rolling Camera Protagonist Jazz | Gearbox | 7", Single Released 23rd March 2018 £8.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Slowly Rolling Camera Protagonist £8.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Gearbox SKU: GB1521 Formats: 7", Single Released Date: 23rd March 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
