| New Denny Zeitlin CD Both/And: Solo Electro-Acoustic Adventures  New Denny Zeitlin CD Both/And: Solo Electro-Acoustic Adventures just released on Sunnyside Records. A solo revisitation and extension of Zeitlin's groundbreaking 1968-78 decade of exploring the possibilities of integrating acoustic and electronic instruments in a music drawing on his experiences in jazz, classical, funk, and the avant-garde.Two reviews on release: "Denny Zeitlin turns the solo piano world on its head with the most ambitious work of his storied career. A stellar performance and unique hybrid that others have attempted but with nowhere near the harmonic wonders that Zeitlin creates here. 5 Stars [highest rating]" Brent Black, www.criticaljazz.com "Dr. Denny Zeitlin has made a career of creating a catalogue of some of the most imaginatively lyrical and sublime acoustic solo and trio sessions...This time around, the good doctor changes the prescription and treatment, mixing his signature sound with electronics...A fascinating experiment that succeeds thoroughly well on various fronts." George Harris, www.jazzweekly.com SELECTED PAST ELECTRO-ACOUSTIC ACCLAIM: For Expansion (1973) DOWNBEAT: "...***** [Highest Rating]...a masterpiece." CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: "...the single most impressive wedding of electronic and acoustic elements..." For Syzygy (1977) SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE: "Extraordinary in range, electrifying in its flow and sweep, perfection itself in the brilliance of its musicianship." For Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) NEW YORKER, Pauline Kael: "...dazzling score... the music is a large contributor to the jokes and terrors." write your comments about the article :: © 2013 Jazz News :: home page |
