Reviews

Gary Hassay returns to Drimala Records with his new recording blackwater bridge proving (as if, after 1999's literally brilliant Another Shining Path, he had anything to prove) that he engages on the deepest possible levels in his musical interactions...probing and anticipating his partner's biorhythms with utmost sensitivity.  Working this time with harpist Anne LeBaron, on Blackwater Bridge alto saxophonist Gary Hassay engages in a sustained tour de force over the span of ten separate compositions that bridge the gaps of much uncharted territory.

"The confluence of Hassay's saxophone and LeBaron's harp surpasses the confines that are commonly adhered to.  As the pieces unfold, vistas that owe no allegiance to any predetermined tonal system come sprawling into view -- landscapes that defy ordinary perspective.

"Sensory reassessment and architectural construction -- unbelievable work for just two musicians and their instruments?  The substantiation lies within: a sonic bridge, lovingly, carefully and meticulously constructed from the basic elements of strings and reeds.  Listen and let it move you.  Let it ease your passage to realms otherwise undiscovered.  Let it in...and you will be transported."  -- Scott Hreha from the liners
