Vein - Vein Plays Ravel [CD]

Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.Since their first UK release in 2014, Swiss trio VEIN have cemented their reputation as an exciting, hugely talented trio who play with passion, drive, finesse and as masters of musical interplay. 'VEIN Plays Ravel' is a collection of compositions by 20th Century French composer, pianist and conductor, Maurice Ravel and featuring star saxophonist Andy Sheppard. rrIn recent years we have seen twins, drummer, Florian Arbenz and pianist Michael Arbenz with bassist Thomas Lxe4hns release three albums here and perform a raft of shows in a number of settings - as a consummate trio and with special edition quartets featuring great American saxophonists Greg Osby and Dave Liebman. rrRavel is an obvious choice for VEIN. One of the most enigmatic figures of classical music, Ravel's compositions share common ground with VEIN's musical soundscape. Ravel lived in an era during which tradition transitioned into abstract modernity, just as Vein breaks new ground without rejecting the traditional values of jazz. Likewise, Ravel encompassed many styles of music into his compositions including baroque, Spanish music and jazz. VEIN's influences are similarly multifaceted. rrVEIN draws its inspiration from Ravel, adds new elements, grooves and improvisations to create a sound that is unmistakeably Vein, yet one that resonates with Ravel's spirit. At the heart of 'VEIN plays Ravel' is Bolero - one of the 20th century's most iconic pieces of music. Here the trio is joined by a horn section with special guest soloist, the British sax heavyweight and one of the greats of European jazz, Andy Sheppard (who also guests on Mouvement de Menuet). Playful (as was Ravel) the piece twists and turns, dips and dives both mournful and swinging, reflective and joyful, the stunning 16 minute piece underscores this magnificent and uncompromising musical work.
