Der großartige Mark Turner macht auf seiner European Tour 25 erneut halt in der Halle424. Er wird uns v.a. brandneue Kompositionen aus seinem noch unveröffentlichen neuen ECM Album mit seinem Quartett prasentieren. Wir dürfen uns auch auf ein paar Solo-Einlagen freuen, aus dem sehr intimen Projekt ‚We raise them to lift their heads‘. Das Album ist das Produkt einer Kooperation mit Jakob Bro, der hier als Producer gelistet ist.
Bro speaks of Turner with parts affection and respect, recalling him practicing constantly in a railroad apartment they shared in Red Hook 25 years earlier. “His saxophone and his work on sound, harmonies, melodies, rhythm, etc., became a kind of soundtrack to my life at the time,” Bro stated in a press document. “The horn has so much warmth and life, and then there’s a harmonic world that is entirely Mark’s own. My wish with the solo album is to recreate the mood I experienced when I lived with Mark. He’s sitting in the next room, searching for new paths in the music. Always.” Jazztimes
Die Presse über Mark Turner’s Quartet:
‚The shape and sound of the group continues to be guided by Turner’s unique composer’s muse, a blend of effortlessly subtle Birth of the Cool harmony-glides, register-sweeping Coltrane-to-Wayne Shorter sax-improv, and contrapuntal horn dialogues. Turner’s intuitions about this instrumentation’s collective potential for integrating through-written chamber music and freewheeling soloing.“ Jazzwise
„Flanked here by bassist Joe Martin and drummer Jonathan Pinson, Turner and trumpeter Jason Palmer are part of a unified sound that undergirds the frontline grace — with its deep west coast verities, and the ongoing influence Warne Marsh exerted upon the leader’s astonishing improvisations — with a subtle rhythmic turbulence and unerring propulsion“. The Quietus
„Light of tone and phenomenally agile, the sound of Mark Turner’s tenor saxophone is so beguiling that I’d happily listen to him playing from a book of exercises. His own music, though, is quite demanding. That means you have to pay attention and occasionally lose the plot, which is no bad thing. It sounds even better the second time around. His quartet is completed by trumpet (Jason Palmer), bass (Joe Martin) and drums (Jonathan Pinson). The absence of a piano or any other harmony instrument leaves a lot of open space, which they exploit with subtlety and imagination.“ Observer
