That review has always stuck with me too. Great interpretation of these three oddly matched jazz "characters." I'd like to know how this team-up came about.
I was curious to see what else that reviewer has written - here's one on eMuser favorite Arvo Part!
I really liked this earlier, so playing again. I think it was one of Jonah's Jazz Picks a couple of weeks ago, but I only downloaded this morning with new credits.
Oh my, oh my! This is definitely making my 'best of 2012' list. I have loved Susan McKeown's strong beautiful voice ever since her 1998 celtic album, Bushes & Briars. I have continued to follow her since that time through her subsequent forge into folk music and when I saw she had a Pledgemusic project up to drum up support for a brand new album, I climbed on board without hesitating. Got her CD in the mail a while back but I'm just now getting around to listening to it. This one absolutely leaves me speechless. Truly.
I think Mingus might be the next person I try to reduce the Guvera credits stack with.
Re jazz and Guvera, if I ruled the world one piece of legislation I would look to pass would be one that says that any album that is not an original album as released by the artist has to to have a special symbol next to it under pain of heavy fines, so that it's possible for folk like me to tell on a page of Guvera jazz hits which are the "real" albums and which are various compilations, rehashes, ripoffs, collections of tracks for lovers, etc. without squinting at tiny album titles and lots of cross-referencing to Amazon and Wikipedia. Grumble, grumble.
Having fun really.
RIP - I was there the night that this was recorded during the first half. After the interval he played the 'hits'. One of my musical highlights. As an aside - it is interesting that there is a London bus on the cover, it was actually recorded 60 miles away in Northampton, as confirmed on the CD sleeve!
"Francis Dhomonts influence spans beyond the scope of his musical practice. The human richness of his art, his serious and pragmatical approach to theory, his honest and tactful union of philosophy and music, the fierce life animating his compositions are all essential elements of his inspiring work.
On December 15th, 2001, fifteen musicians unveiled fourteen eclectical remixes of Dhomonts landmark compositions. A sincere hommage made of acousmatic snapshots and live performances."
