In this concert, I came to see that those were the leaders, Sylvie Courvoisier and Mark Feldman. Their acolytes a priori does not interest me. Error! It is a true non-standard quartet, which all have an impressive background, and know how to create music with little to none.
Given the expertise and Vilon classical pianist, we say they do not really need a pair to show them the rhythmic tempo. And Actually, they do not. Drummer Gerry Hemingway, who has long played in the fabulous quartet of Anthony Braxton and Crispell with Dresser, has more talent as a percussionist, offering a sort of fog colored broken rhythms, a halo floating and shimmering, it condenses when it is necessary to hammering an impressive compactness.
At his side, Thomas Morgan on bass, I had already in Five Elements Steve Coleman , plays the all-terrain vehicles. Time frame by completing and fuzzy glow of the drummer, then double-note lines of the violinist, and engaging in vigorous solos or tightrope.
Feldman is that this face to the public announcement in French songs, and generally running the show most often. His playing is always melodic, limited post-romantic, with soaring strings where acute rending cry of complaints, with some gaming effects, often with repeated lines above the ebb and flow of its partners. When
to Courvoisier, the play is a pleasure to see every moment renewed, as she juggles all possible plays the piano, setting out a series of chords nicely, when suddenly the right hand part flutter in acute deafening chirping speed, or although the left hand in hand for pizzicato strings rumbling, and then she gets up and plays in the cabinet with large beads that create a pace that will meet the drummer in his own way, and all this with a confidence and a natural give the sense that each of its interventions is just necessary and appropriate.
The pieces are long, filled with spaces for improvisation, with returns, ways of verses between choruses of sorts, departures, it is unclear to where it is in classical music before bed- care and free jazz without his aggressive side easily.
Two sets not very long, but intense emotions, surprises, listening, and donations. A great big concert.
