Peter Brotzmann / Majid Bekkas / Hamid Drake - Catching Ghosts (Audio CD): 2023 audio CD release. New and factory sealed. All of our items are authentic from the manufacturer; we never sell illegal copies.Description: Catching Ghosts by revered, iconoclastic 81yearold reedist Peter Brotzmann with Moroccan Gnaoua adept Majid Bekkas playing twostringed, camelskinbacked guembre and Chicagobred drummer Hamid Drake, proves that free spontaneous interactions deriving power from ageold traditions can transcend cultural lines. Improvising on incantations from Gnaoua liturgy, Brotzmanns horn cries as summons and statement; Drakes drums awaken inner impulses; Bekkas strings, plucked and strummed, tie it all together, and his voice brings the song home. But this is no lucky success: The music is vital due to its players careerlong practice, their knowledge of heritage, and belief the past must always be reinterpreted, renewed. American jazz giants have jammed with Gnaouans, but for Brotzmann, Europes exemplar of unfettered blowing, to grapple with such material is to hear a new synthesis. My approach is get in and disturb these themes, so other things happen, he explains. Im not thinking about scales or harmonies. I follow Bekkas, and when he changes, I do something against it to make the music interesting to me. The dialectic is a good way to make something new, out of tension. I need that in any sort of playing. Bekkas aligns himself with Br�tzmann, championing the revival of Gnaouan culture, which originates in the uneasy history of freed Black slaves integrating with Moroccan Islamic society. The music relates to American blues, as Bekkas knows. Drake orchestrates the open format, making drama from grooves so each track of Catching Ghosts tells its own story, signifying meaning though it be prelinguistic. That suits Brotzmanns adjustment of his signature style. I dont have to play all high energy anymore, says the German who shook up the jazz world in 1968 with his album Machine Gun. Now Im more interest in dynamics and sound. Those tangible qualities universalize the challenge of Catching Ghosts.Specifications: Label: Act Release Date: June 9, 2023 Number of Discs: 1Features: Audio CD Every item is in stock at our warehouse and ships the next business day.We guarantee your orders safe arrival, and will replace any lost, damaged, or defective item.Within the USA: We offer US Postal Service delivery, with tracking (delivery confirmation).
