In this era of boundless tools, mostly centered around digital data and complex software with endless plug-ins, offering infinite options to music makers, what do we end up with? Uninspired, formulaic 'dance' music that mimics what might loosely be termed as music, failing to evoke any genuine emotion or depth (unless you're under the influence, and even then). Jack DeJohnette wraps up this collection with just a piano and a couple of friends, one on mandolin, another on bass, proving masterfully that you don't need a ton of gear to create something brilliant. These compositions are blissful yet melancholic, and sound absolutely wonderful, capable of lifting you off the ground. Those tech-savvy musicians complaining about missing this or that plug-in, software, or gadget to realize their vision are missing the point and are quite laughable, as they simply can't play, not even in a non-academic, just-for-fun way, where even basic early New-Wave riffs would suffice. Enjoying this album of profound music from a realm beyond the tyranny of 4/4 beats is an absolute delight.
In this era of endless tools and software, all centered around digital data and packed with countless plug-ins, music creators have infinite options. But what does it all amount to?

These compositions are blissful yet melancholic, with a beautiful sound that can lift you off the ground. Those tech-savvy musicians complaining about missing this or that plug-in, software, or device to achieve their vision are missing the point and are quite laughable, because they simply can't play, not even in a casual, non-academic way. Three chords and some early New-Wave riffs would be enough for that. Enjoying this release of deep music from beyond the realm of 4/4 beats is a pure delight.
In this modern era, we're flooded with an endless array of tools, mostly centered around computers and complex software, packed with countless plug-ins that offer infinite possibilities for music creators.

These compositions are blissful yet melancholic, and they sound beautiful, capable of lifting you off the ground. Those tech-savvy muzak tweakers complaining about missing this or that plug-in, software, or special device to achieve their vision are missing the point and are a laughing stock, because they simply can't play, not even in a non-academic, playful way—three chords and some early New-Wave riffs would suffice for that. Enjoying this release of deep, meaningful music from a land outside the 4/4 totalitarianism is a pure delight.
