Music reviews of Cantando (Ocrd)
Music Review: Another great Stenson disk
Rating: 4 Stars
Although it doesn't scale the same heights as Serenity, an undisputable high point in the trio's discography, this is another very fine Stenson disc. Those familiar with previous ECM productions will find a typical mix of the trio's own compositions, borrowed material, folksy tunes and more classically inspired material. Characteristic are also the finely judged modulations between improvisatory abstraction and beguiling lyricism. New is perhaps the wider range of exotic percussion sounds that young drummer Jon Fält (filling the void left by Jon Christensen) weaves into the musical fabric. Together with Jormin's sometimes very Eastern sounding extemporisations on double-bass this lends at times an almost ritualistic quality to the music (particularly evident in the almost 15 minute long improvisation "Pages" and the Alban Berg-inspired "Liebesode"). Despite the evident mastery of Jormin and Fälts, the great attraction for me remains Stenson's piano. He produces a tone that is instantly recognisable: disarmingly honest, "simple" and luminous. Listen to the wistful rising scale of open fifths in Petr Eben's "Song of Ruth" and you know what I mean. I was lucky enough to experience the trio live in this set and I was amazed by the sheer exuberance of their music making. With a total duration of just over 78 minutes on this disc we are exceedingly well served (not always the case with ECM). The recording is excellent (as is customary with ECM). Altogether a very enticing package.

Description of Cantando (Ocrd)
Eagerly awaited new album from Bobo Stenson's trio whose discography has included such important albums as "Reflections" (1993), "War Orphans" (1997), "Serenity" (1999) and "Goodbye" (2004). Master pianist Bobo Stenson and long term bassist Anders Jormin - now joined by alertly responsive young drummer Jon Fält - have developed a richly detailed sound-world like nothing else in modern jazz - at once an extension of the jazz piano tradition and, with its windows opening onto classical music and world folklore, a force apart from it. Characteristically broad program, with original compositions by Jormin, group improvising and pieces by Petr Eben, Alban Berg, Ornette Coleman, Don Cherry, and Silvio Rodriguez. Bobo Stenson's audience has developed in the US over the last several years through his touring Presence.Jazz CDs
