Telling "I love the music on this CD, but I wasn't sure I could describe it even to myself enough to be able to say something about it. So I listened to the music many times for days. I thought about how free it was and yet how fully formed it sounded, as thought we had played as a quartet for a long time, when in fact we played twice in two days before we recorded. I noticed how easily the music flowed and how well it stayed together. The variety of feeling really got me. There's something familiar and something different about all of it. I started thinging about how Hamid Drake, Kent Kessler, Ken Vandermark, and I figured out how to do this so freely without losing a sense of shape. How we could use what we know and spontaneously understand each other... Fortunately, we and our colleagues are creating music that hasn't been given a name yet. So we aren't stuck having to live up to someone else's description of what we do. We are free to play what we want to play. The music on this recording began with the most basic materials: sound, silence, motion, interval, duration, and emotion. We started to play without any words, written material, or agreed structure and within a couple of minutes we knew it would work. Our agenda seemed to be that we would musically talk to each other. We told each other what we know. We played to make something different, to create another experience for whomever listens. It remains open to personal interpretation, to be described by people who listen." -- Joe Morris, from the liner notes 8 tracks in 60:13 minutes More Okka :::>>> Tell A Friend About This CD From Drimala If you like this cd, you might also enjoy listening to: Big Top (Morris with the Whit Dickey Quartet) Age of Everything (Joe Morris Trio) Double or Nothing (AALY & DKV Trios) Trigonometry (DKV Trio) In Our Times (School Days) Soul Search (Joe Morris and Mat Maneri) Afternoons (Jeb Bishop Trio/Quartet) Live In Wels & Chicago (DKV Trio) Schizosphere (Houle, Wilson, van der Schyff) Forrest Through the Trees (Phil Mosberg Quartet) |
