| �What Haven't You Had?� SLAMCD 260 Vladimir Miller and Steve Plews piano Vladimir Miller and Steve Plews piano �What Haven't You Had?� SLAMCD 260 Vladimir Miller and Steve Plews piano | |||||||||
| Some of the music in this series of duets and solos is scored but much of it is improvised; the artists acknowledge influences of Bartok, Rachmaninov, Keith Tippett, Jaki Byard amongst others. The result is a fascinating collection of post-modern romanticism at once Lennox Berkeley and Bill Evans. The recordings, made in front of a live audience, capture the atmosphere of a memorable performance. With the percussive intricacy of Millers style warmly enveloped by the rhapsodic technique of pianist Steve Plews, the music varies from quiet introspection to a tour de force of compositional and improvisational virtuosity | Details | Purchase direct from SLAM, UK | |||||||

|
Aleksandr Dovzhenko�s classic silent film of life and death in a Ukrainian village amid the struggles of collectivisation is considered a poetic masterpiece of Soviet cinema. Its convenient ideology is overtaken by the epic landscapes and beautifully observed portrayals of family, community and human emotions. Jan Kopinski�s new CD captures the music of his specially commissioned live soundtrack to this remarkable film, intensifying the imagery with an intriguing mix of sadness and hope. At times, gently paced and lingering, the music is intense but always hopeful.

| STEVE HARRIS QUINTET, with Cathy Stevens viola, Geoff Hearn saxophones, Karen Wimhurst clarinet, Udo Dzierzanowski guitar and Steve Harris drums. | |||||||||
| Some of the music is brooding and darkly minimalist, with Morricone guitar twangs echoing over rumbling bass-drum patterns; some is squawky and impulsive, some vivid and conversational. This is virtuosic and varied improvisation. John Fordham, The Guardian. | Details Reviews | Purchase direct from SLAM, UK | Purchase from USA Distributor | ||||||
