On Spectrum, New York City-based saxophonist and composer David Crowell fuses strictly notated composition with jazz and ambient improvisation. A love for the music of composers Steve Reich, Philip Glass and John Zorn merges with his roots in jazz and improvised music to create a focused and original sound. Satisfying for its diversity but coherent in its message, Spectrum travels a vivid emotional landscape.
In 'Point Reyes,' six alto saxophone parts bounce off each other with relentless abandon, creating a unique kind of counterpoint, both dense and beautiful. In 'Nectar of Life', the ensemble delivers a hard-hitting and virtuosic display of raw power. 'Long Goodbye' and 'Looking Deeply' are entirely improvised; sophisticated guitar loops and sensitive drumming create a space for reflection and meditation. In 'Happy Nightmare,' a minimalist bass line anchors an ominous guitar and aggressive saxophone, while 'Great Wide Open' explores the subtle evolution of a chord progression into free-form improvisation.
Each member of the David Crowell Ensemble contributes a distinctive artistic vision to the music on Spectrum. Crowell's saxophone is in turn forceful, insistent, and lyrical and Mcmurray's haunting guitar loops help define the sections of ambient improvisation. Jason Nazary is a versatile and dynamic presence on the drums while Chiavaro's beautiful electric bass sound is steady throughout. Guest artist Red Wierenga adds a vintage Fender Rhodes to the textures of 'Great Wide Open.'
David Crowell is a featured composer at the 2009 MATA Festival, a New York City forum for presenting the new music of emerging composers from around the world. In 2007, he was a composer-in-residence at the Bang on a Can Summer Music Festival. David's percussion and ensemble works have been performed at numerous venues in the U.S. and Mexico.
A member (woodwinds) since 2007, David performs internationally with the Philip Glass Ensemble. |
