Trios Solos Ralph Towner with Glen Moore SKU: ECM1025 Barcode: ECM1025 14.00 £14.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ECM Released Date: 31st October 2013 Buying Format: 1LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Essentially an Oregon album under a different name, Trios/Solos consists mainly of Ralph Towner originals culled from the group’s Vanguard sessions. The opening “Brujo” is anchored by Towner’s twelve mighty strings and the late Collin Walcott’s tabla stylings, leaving a winding crevice through which Glen Moore works his whimsical bass. “Noctuary” features Paul McCandless on oboe, soaring loosely through the Towner/Moore fulcrum before the trio ties itself into a tightly improvised not. The Bill Evans tune “Re: Person I Knew” stands out in a gorgeous rendition. Towner doubles on piano and 12-string—laying down a sound that would soon crystallize into his classic ECM album Solstice—as Moore lurks in the background. “Raven’s Wood” continues the same configuration, only this time with nylon, darkening its pastoral modality with nocturnal visions. Despite the intimate wonders of these trios, the album’s titular solos abound with some of its most focused and furthest-reaching moments. Moore’s “A Belt Of Asteroids” is a curious one at that. Seeming at first out of place in its present company, it carefully peels open the album’s outer layers with every twang. The remainders feature Towner doing what he does best. Take the compact “Suite: 3×12,” a carefully thought out composition in which his palpable picking and love for harmonics shines through at every turn, not to mention his consistently progressive energy. The last of the three movements is more aggressive in its attack and wound around a precise rhythmic core. “Winter Light” is heavily steeped in 6-string nostalgia, lonely but content in its solitude. “1×12” is, by contrast, a run along a blazing trail. Lastly, we have “Reach Me, Friend,” a snapshot of expectation that breathes with audible resolve. As the driving force behind the album, Towner’s technique is mellifluous as usual, forging an aerial sound that constantly surveys the untouched lakes shimmering below like mirrors in the brilliance of his execution. Despite the lush performances throughout, the imagery is all so viscerally sere. And while there is no danger in what we see, there remains a threat unseen, lingering just beyond the horizon, quelled only by the arrival of the morning sun Artist Ralph Towner with Glen Moore Genre Jazz Label ECM Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country Germany Track Listings Brujo Winter Light Noctuary 1x12 A Belt Of Asteroids Re: Person I Knew Suite: 3x12 Raven's Wood Reach Me Friend Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Jazz View Product Quick View Miles Davis In A Silent Way Jazz | Sony Legacy | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 16th October 2015 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Miles Davis In A Silent Way £19.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Sony Legacy SKU: 88875111941 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 16th October 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Abbey Lincoln You Gotta Pay The Band Jazz | Decca | 2LP Released 27th August 2021 £26.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Abbey Lincoln You Gotta Pay The Band £26.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Decca SKU: 3591642 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 27th August 2021 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Don Cherry Here And Now Jazz | Real Gone Music | 1LP Released 10th March 2023 £36.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Don Cherry Here And Now £36.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Real Gone Music SKU: RLGM15061PMI Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th March 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hampton Hawes Four!
