Michele Rabbia - Gianluca Petrella - Eivind Aarset - Lost River
Qobuz 24/48
I quite liked this.
And it has superb sound too.
ECM is used to going off-piste, and that’s exactly what they do here with Lost River. The project is led by drummer Michele Rabbia and guitarist Eivind Aarset, who have previously performed together as a duo. Rabbia has also collaborated with trombonist Gianluca Petrella, but this album is a first for the trio. As the brain behind the German label, it was Manfred Eicher’s idea to bring the three together. Composed largely from improvised sound textures, their music has the feel of an atmospheric symphony that’s speckled with electronic sounds. Like a distant relative to the renowned record Khmer - the album that Nils Petter Molvӕr released on ECM in 1998 - Lost Rivers plays on sensations, shapes and space. Everything is weightless - but never too fleeting - in this superb meditative jazz. © Max Dembo/Qobuz
