HiRes音乐简介:
Avenel, who's self-taught on the bass, has been active on the European free music scene for three decades, most prominently working with Steve Lacy since 1981, when he replaced Kent Carter in the straight horn player's quintet. That's where jazz fans will recognize the name and the sound, but for the purposes of this recording it's important to note that Avenel has immersed himself in the music of West Africa for some timenow. He's been playing the kora, a harp/lute-like instrument, for over twenty years.
Waraba (which means "the lion" in the Bamana language) is the title of Avenel's Paris-based Manding music project with Yakhouba Sissokho (kora), Lansiné Kouyaté (balafon, amarimba), Moriba Koita (ngoni, a lute), and Michel Edelin (flutes). Avenel plays bass (and kora, on two tracks) on the record, which is evenly split between traditional pieces and originals by members of the group. Other than the acoustic bass and flutes, the instruments that appear here are old as West African music itself (and the liner notes provide some helpful background).
The group interacts avidly with a candid, open improvisational approach in the process of fleshing out these tunes. The combination of timbres remains organic and balanced, and the DSD recording faithfully reveals every subtle nuance and coloration. Given the overall sprightly dominance of the kora — and credit master kora player Yakhouba Sissokho for bringing the African contingent into this group—this can be viewed as a kora record, but only by listening to Avenel's bass playing can you really appreciate its inherent balance.
Waraba is breathtaking, masterfully inventive, and unpretentious stuff. Mind-blowing, really, whatever your musical background.
