Digital Booklet
|
"There are proper songs, sound sculptures, passing thoughts and oddities all mixed together here. There's absolutely no way to know what's coming next, as free jazz raves and folk-ish thoughts make nice together, dreams and nightmares call a truce and all three musicians perform as one without losing a bit of their identities. And through these intriguing and sonically diverse mood paintings, Waxwing proves that substance is of greater importance than stylistic single-mindedness."
- All About Jazz
Waxwing unites three of Vancouver’s premier jazz musicians in a programme of original compositions and improvisations that combine delicacy and strength, melodic beauty and textural sophistication. The ensemble, formerly known as Wilson/Lee/Bentley, consists of adventurous electric guitarist Tony Wilson, classically trained free improviser Peggy Lee on cello and saxophonist Jon Bentley. Several of the pieces here are quite concise, some almost miniatures, others using overdubbing to create a denser, more orchestral sound. The musicians often swap roles within pieces, exploiting the full range of expression for this unusual combination of instruments.
