REVIEWS

“Rinde Eckert is a strong male vocalist, and the style and sentiment of his songs are drawn from the inner strength of white steepled churches, the heroism of social revolutionaries, and the chivalry of a knight. “I Will Shelter You” is a powerhouse of a you-can-lean-on-me ballad. “Lullaby” is a dynamic appeal to keep our sons from guns. Though much of the music is rooted in solid choral structures, “Roll on Green River” builds with rock ‘n’ roll chaos, where even still […]

“Three Days In The Sun … is a slow, sultry exploration of blues and the American west, tinged with an eastern ethic that never comes too close to the surface.Four Songs Lost In a Wall … is as dark and strange a piece as Eckert has ever done.”

“Argentine singer and songwriter Gabriela has a divine voice: soulful, earthy – no, downright sexy would best describe it. … The songs are a blend of surface simplicity masking a deeper, more complex whole that creeps up in strange and beautiful ways; Gabriela’s voice is urgent and slightly smokey, drifting on top of music that is never insistent and impossible to ignore.” – CMJ New Music Report

REVIEWS

“Gabriela’s second collaboration with guitarist extraordinaire Bill Frisell proves to be even more joyous than her first, perhaps because these tracks have been carefully arranged instead of relying on the spontaneity of improvisation. The result is something that stands apart from folk, jazz, and the avant-garde, to occupy a beautiful field all its own. The poetry of Argentinian Gabriela’s lyrics (reproduced in both Spanish and English in the booklet) transcends most of what passes for words in songs to shine gorgeously, while the settings glimmer […]

Producer Lee Townsend’s name on a record is usually a good sign. His work with guitarists – Charlie Hunter, Bill Frisell, and brilliant Will Bernard (whatever happened to him?) – has been of a consistently high standard and his helming of this ambitious music and spoken word project is spot on. There’s a beautiful clarity in the engineering, a sonic womb in which drums, guitars and voice are fluids that swirl amid an ever growing narrative […]

REVIEWS

“Granelli is a veteran, first-rate jazz drummer with a spiritual bent. Broken Circle is his second album at the helm of UFB, a quartet the 56-year-old founded with three young German jazz-rockers. UFB’s special virtue is its integration of two contrasting layers: the heavy, blues-based fire of electric guitarists Kai Bruckner and Christian Kogel, and the airy rhythms of Granelli and bassist Andreas Walter. The guitarists full-throttle attack never gets oppressive; Granelli and Walter’s springy foundation keeps things supple and fluid.”

REVIEWS

“News From the Street spans Granelli’s musical roots and long affection for Delta-flavored blues, with tunes from Bill ‘Honky Tonk Doggett, Ry Cooder, and Clarence ‘Gatemouth’ Brown set against more contemporary artists: Jimi Hendrix, Rinde Eckert, and Bruce Hornsby. Doggett’s jump-blues ‘Honey Boy’ begins the disc with a funky hook, layered with skittery electric guitars and fat bass, backlit by Granelli’s crystalline drumming; Cooder’s ‘Big Love’ pairs acoustic and electric guitars drenched in steamy bayou ambiance; and Eckert’s translucent, porcelain waltz, “Ellen Waltzing,” is an exquisite piece of wistful, Bill Evans-style romance. Throughout News Granelli’s sparse, delicate drumming shines in thoughtful, inspired meditations and shi fting dynamics of resonant phrasing, rhythmic execution, and masterful, precision timekeeping.”

“Granelli’s fascinating material weaves intrigue and mystery, unusual voicings and colors, often making sparing use of exotic electronics, indeed take us other places. Surprises are constant; there isn’t a predictable track or texture on the record. Bassist Anthony Cox rounds out this superb date (he has a sensational duet with Granelli’s “steel pans”) and … band. What a trip!”

REVIEWS

“Like the novel, the music layers a collage of jazz, blues and New Orleans influences over an unsettling haunting tone. The unifying core is blues, as heard in various permutations. Expect surprising interpretations: a Johnny Hodges blues becomes mysterious while a Screamin’ Jay Hawkins stomper is made serene…. Granelli shows clear vision. In Slaughter, a fellow musician describing Bolden’s never recorded sound could just as well be praising the strengths of this disc: ‘There was pain and gentleness – everything – crammed into each number.’ “
