Orquesta Salvaje
|
SLAMCD246
|
|
Jorge Szajko. Multi-instrumentalist and composer Szajko, born in Buenos Aires in 1956, began piano studies at the age of 6. He has worked across Europe with such stars as Dizzy Gillespie, Dino Saluzzi and Wayne Shorter. His Orquesta plays an eclectic collection of his compositions in a fusion of Argentine folkloric rhythms, jazz and contemporary music.
|
|
An avant-gardist Argentinian
progressive rock symphony (there is simply no other way to describe it), it
features a full string section, each track played by Szajko (no synthesizers
involved). It has Latin dances, huge orchestral gestures dipped in
atonality, and off-kilter drumming by Piny Levalle. Fran�ois Couture, All Music Guide.

Howard Riley, solo piano.
|
|
".. one of the jazz world's most immediately recognisable and unfussily virtuosic pianists.. This album utilises all the musical vocabulary Riley has acquired over the past quarter-century � his trademark walking baselines under ringing, wonderfully cluttered right-hand improvisations; his delightful visits to "disguised" standards (here "Lover Man"); his tumbling runs interspersed with clanging percussiveness � to produce music of rare power and strange, pungent beauty. A genuine original at the peak of his powers." Chris Parker, BBC Music Magazine.
