Alan Silva & The Sound Visions Orchestra by Alan Silva & The Sound Visions Orchestra ake no mistake; this is first and foremost religious music. Every sound from the 24-member band, every gesture from conductor Silva serves an extra-musical purpose --creating a sonic analogy to a mystical experience. The sheer roiling volume, density, and fullness of tone created by the massive ensemble fills the listener with a powerful sense of the infinite, a sublime combination of awe, dread, and unearthly ravishment. Listening to the orchestra at full voice is like staring into the sun: searingly bright details team over the surface, then soloists explode out from the central mass like tongues of fire and collapse back into the inferno. In music like this, individual contributions are almost incidental to the overall impact, but there are peak moments and outstanding soloists worth noting. The duet of trumpeter Roy Campbell and saxophonist Sabir Mateen elevates the music near the start...

.Abstract Rhythm in Time DigitalART With eremite records artists audio community The Short Form by Raphe Malik by Alan Silva

Image
The Short Form by Raphe Malik Trumpeter Raphe Malik is a distinguished if underappreciated master of his instrument and the free jazz movement. For this recording date, a concert at the Fire in the Valley Festival in 1996, Malik assembled a band of giants in tenor savant Glenn Spearman, drummer Dennis Warren, and bassist George Langford. Malik and Spearman, having worked in the Cecil Taylor unit at different times, have like-minded approaches to composition, and are therefore a perfect match. Both prefer long, loping lines that eventually give way to extended fiery improvisation in which all instruments are used to find a common center and play out from it. On "Invocation: Spiel City," which opens the album, melodies appear in three different sections in the piece, each one vastly different harmonically from the preceding one. On "Ray (Thine Own)," Malik and Spearman find an angular melodic invention that soars over the rhythm section that is playing triple time...

ConSequences by Raphe Malik jazziz magazine critics' picks top ten recordings 1999 cadence magazine reviewers' choice top ten recordings 1999 cadence magazine readers poll top recordings 1999 Raphe puts his technical mastery of the trumpet to bravura use throughout ConSequences, pushing off from the initial structure established by the tunes into those extremes of expression where he is so at home. His sound is huge -- just one note tells you that -- but there's more to his playing than a big tone. Raphe has mastered the whole jazz vocabulary of the instrument. He can nail ridiculously high notes, execute the fastest lines with absolute clarity, and manipulate menacing growls, shrieks of anger and cries of joy with absolute precision. . . . His methodology is another way of doing what improvisers have done in America since the turn of the century: express the exhiliration of freedom and capture the joy that lies as deep within us as sorrow. --Ed Hazell, excerpt from li...

Companions by Raphe Malik Quartet "The Trio Hurricane - Glenn Spearman on tenor, William Parker on bass, Paul Murphy on drums - first blew in 1986 (Suite of Winds, on Black Saint, Live at Fire in The Valley, mte-10). Companions is effectively another Trio Hurricane + 1, the extra member this time being not Marco Eneidi (see Wiretapper 6 compilation), but trumpeter Raphe Malik. Recorded in May 1998, it is, unless someone taped their concert in Toronto two months later, Malik's last recording with Spearman, who died in October that year (his final concert, with Matthew Goodheart and Rashid Bakr in July 98, was released on Eremite as First and Last mte-15). "Lyon's Jump" references ex-CT altoist Jimmy Lyons (in whose memory this concert took place at the Vision Festival), who invited Murphy to join his group after hearing the drummer play in 1974. It's inspired stuff, and Parker, who presumably ate a lion before taking to the stage, turns in a bowed solo of s...
