Previously on OPIUM HUM:
Terje Rypdal, Miroslav Vitous & Jack DeJohnette - S/T (1978)
Second of two collaborative efforts between guitarist Terje Rypdal, bassist Miroslav Vitous, and drummer Jack DeJohnette. Atmospheric, dynamic, free-form compositions that might work as an easy primer on 'the ECM sound.'
Track listing:
1. Maya
2. Mountain the the Clouds
3. Morning Lake
4. To Be Continued
5. This Morning
6. Topplue, Votter, & Skjerf
7. Uncomposed Appendix
Icing
Brilliant material. I know for a fact Rypdal is a conservatory trained musician and talented enough to compose chamber/orchestral music. He is not requisitioned to only make one style of music hence his penchant for jazz like this which btw I am sure is a little less free then you might imagine tho theres enough talent and soul between the musicians one could never tell it was composed. One of my favorite ECM artists!
ReplyDeleteI love Rypdal. The one piece of orchestral music I've heard of his - Lux Aeterna - is phenomenal.
