Product Description:
Richard Thompson, one of todays most artistically aware composers, offers here two song cycles and six piano preludes, in a contemporary classical vein as well as an arrangement of the Spiritual, Wade in the Water, for jazz quartet. Thompsons work here helps to highlight the natural tendency of todays urban American composers who, not content to write in one style of music, work to remove the presupposed barrier between traditional classical music and contemporary jazz, thereby underscoring their artistic and spiritual kinship. Mr. Thompson, originally from Aberdeen, Scotland, has written compositions which combine European and African-American styles, so that the formal structures of European classical music develop ideas which are essentially jazz in nature. Thompson completed graduate studies in jazz at Rutgers University in New Jersey. While there, he studied jazz piano with Kenny Barron and classical piano with Ted Lettvin. He also holds a jazz diploma! from the Berklee College in Boston.
Rating:
- Visual, lyrical, sensual music
The works here combine formal European classical structures with African-American styles, essentially jazz. Of the two song cycles, I liked "The Shadow of Dawn" (settings of poetry by Paul Laurence Dunbar) best, and felt the music perfectly captured the essence of the words, as if both flowed from the same hand.
But my favorite works were the Six Preludes for Piano - so much so that I hit the back button and listened to the entire set again before moving on.
