I don't like all his records, but this is a good one.

Craig Taborn - Shadow Plays
Qobuz 24/96




Repetitive - which can be excellent see Glass - but lacking emotion.
"Bland" says my better half.

Jorge Rossy
Robert Landfermann
Jeff Ballard - Puerta
Qobuz 24/96




ECM seldom disappoints...

For this astonishing record marking his début as a leader on the ECM label, Jorge Rossy swapped his sticks for mallets, and concentrated exclusively on that other favourite instrument of his: the vibraphone. Flanked by double bassist Robert Landfermann and drummer Jeff Ballard, the Barcelona native who came to prominence as a member of Brad Mehldau's trio between 1994 and 2005 also showcases his talents as a composer on Puerta (he wrote nine of the album's ten themes). Here, he is approaching his art with an eye for purity. "With this trio, the aim was to give the instruments plenty of room to breathe and unfold by playing fewer key notes.” And they certainly have space! This minimalist playing allows Rossy's rhythm to become one with his improvisations, and to underline the beauty of the often-dreamy melodies that make Puerta so timeless. © Marc Zisman/Qobuz

Thanks a lot Tony for the link! For some reason I'm not getting access to that album... maybe it's not on the European portal catalogue yet? Will keep on trying
