Chris Cheek Saturday Songs (CD) (UK IMPORT)

Description: Further DetailsTitle: Saturday SongsCondition: NewDescription: The tremendously talented saxophonist/composer Chris Cheek has come to feel at home in a variety of musical contexts, from the infectious grooves of Brooklyn Boogaloo Blowout to the challenging global music of Guillermo Klein. Weaned on rock and country, Cheek has always been drawn to the guitar and its openness of sound, the plugged-in aspects of the electric guitar and bass being literal driving elements of his ensemble s sound. The fret masters that he enlists for the recording include guitarist Steve Cardenas, pedal steel expert David Soler and electric bassist Jaume Llombard. The musical polymath Jorge Rossy rounds out the ensemble on drums, vibes and marimba. The addition of the vibes and marimba added a certain flexibility that Cheek enjoyed, these fixed pitch instruments blended well with the non-fixed pitch of the pedal steel. The pieces that Cheek brought to record come from various inspirational sources. A handful of pieces utilize a method of symmetry in composing where Cheek takes changes and/or melody from well-known compositions and rearranges them to create all new pieces, mainly through mirroring. Other pieces come from other practices and inspirations, ranging from rock progenitors to ancient calculating methods. Whether from reworking other tunes or studies on ancient civilizations, Chris Cheek has found inspiration in the craftsmanship of generations of incredible artists and artisans. He has put his craftsmanship on full display on Saturday Songs, a heartfelt and, occasionally, raucous celebration of music that moves the listener.Format: CDArtist: Chris CheekNo Of Discs: 1Record Label: Sunnyside CommunicatEAN: 0016728145329 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
