Attias, Michael - Renku in Coimbra

SKU CLEANFEEDCF162
Michael Attias, alto saxophone / John Hebert, double bass / Satoshi Takeishi, drums and percussion + Russ Lossing, piano on track 4.

"The three-night residency of Michaël Attias' Twines of Colesion in the 2008 edition of the Coimbra's Jazz ao Centro festival was documented on the live album with the same name (to be released early 2010), and now we have this one, recorded in one afternoon at the same Club in Coimbra where the concerts took place, this time behind closed doors. The session featured the core trio without Tony Malaby's saxophones and Russ Lossing's piano (not quite: Lossing is present in one track of “In Coimbra”). A “wondrous parenthesis in time”, says Attias about the opportunity, and that's quite true: this is beautiful music with a strong improvisatory feeling and lots of space for each musician (Attias, bassist John Hébert and drummer/percussionist Satoshi Takeishi) to show their respective and special skills, either individually or in collective interaction. And “collective” is the key word to describe what is in this record: hearing the music you'll understand why Attias chose this term Renku as the name for what has been since 2003 his primary working band – it refers to a collaborative form of traditional Japanese poetry, in which the participating poets build a long poem out of each other's words. On this their second album, Renku plays the music of Lee Konitz, Jimmy Lyons, Hébert and Attias."
