Description
[Machine Translation] Gretchen Parlato's latest album, which further evolved musically and artistically with her last album "Flor," is a collaboration with guitarist Lionel Ruecke, who played an important part in the sound of her debut album "gretchen parlato," released the year after she won the 2004 Monk Competition. This is an album with guitarist Lionel Ruecke from the Republic of Benin, West Africa, who played an important part in the sound of the album. He has performed with Herbie Hancock, Esperanza Spalding, Miho Hasama, and others, and in 2012, he released "Heritage," produced by Robert Glasper, as well as a member of the Blue Note All Stars led by Glasper ( 2017 ) and Herbie Hancock's collection "HH" ( 2020 ), and a member of the Blue Note All-Stars led by Glasper ( 2017 ), as well as the Herbie Hancock album HH ( 2020 ). He and Gretchen have been friends for more than 20 years since their days at the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz, and this long-awaited full-fledged collaboration has finally come to fruition. Gretchen's profound vocals and superb rhythmic sense, Liornell's various percussive guitar techniques, and vocals that use the clicks characteristic of southern Africa, form an organic ensemble that is filled with the highest level of musical skill in contemporary jazz. The recording was made in LA in March 2022. The two also play percussion, and are joined by Mark Juliana (ds, pesc) and Bernice Travis (b). Their beloved son, Murray Juliana, also plays voice on three songs, effectively making his child's voice, which has a strong affinity with African music, a part of the ensemble. The album includes a cover of a song by Climax, a female R&B group that had a string of hits in the 80s and 90s (M2), a famous song that Elise Regina sang as "Samba Da Pergunta" in her 1969 masterpiece "Como y Polque" (M5), and "Nonbignon," which Gretchen also sang on her first album. The album also includes "Nonbinion" (M8), which was featured on Gretchen's first album, and a cover of the Foo Fighters' 1997 song "The Color and the Shape" (M12). The two also collaborate with Mark Juliana and others on their original compositions, which express an exquisite world of swaying African grooves, Brazilian music, jazz, and other elements. Available in Japan only.
