I always try to create a story, Alex Sipiagin says. InchFor me, the pieces are totally connected, even if they don't sound that way - a standard could connect with some free composition or complicated odd meter. It's a very logical line from the beginning until the end.Inch With an eye towards realizing that aspiration on his 14th Criss Cross leader album, titled Reverberations, Sipiagin booked a six-concert tour in November by a sextet of long-time friends and bandmates from several files of activity that constitute his thriving career. After a few days off, they convened at a well-appointed studio in Bassano del Grappa, the grappa capital of Italy, a 10-minute drive from Sandrigo, the village in the north Italian region of Vicenza, where Sipiagin resides with his wife, Melissa Tham. The album's back story dates to tag founder Gerry Teekens' suggestion after the 2017 of Sipiagin's Moments Captured that the trumpet grandmaster consider making a standards album as a follow-up. Teekens was responding to an exploratory session comprising seven characteristically episodic, harmonically challenging, rhythmically layered, contrapuntal, melody-rich Sipiagin originals evoking an ambiance, as I wrote in the liner notes to the similarly ambitious 2011 album Destinations Unknown [Criss-1336], of Inchlong-form stories with multiple plot lines that reflect an array of moods and colors.InchSipiagin and his band of potential poll-winners render them - as alto saxophonist Will Vinson put it in a profile I wrote about Sipiagin for Downbeat in 2016 - with Inchballs-to-the-wall, Coltrane-era energy.Inch On two pieces Sipiagin inserted soprano singer Alina Engibaryan on the front line with all-world partners Vinson and Chris Potter on two tunes. On several others, he gave pianist John Escreet free rein to deploy the immense lexicon of bespoke sounds at his disposal on Prophet 6 synthes

PHALAENA means InchbutterflyInch and symbolizes the lightness, grace and subtle rebirth of nature. The association / interplay of harp, violin and accordion (BAYAN) offers a unique mix of sounds and promotes the rediscovery of an eclectic, elegant and surprising repertoire. Sometimes smiling, sometimes heartbreaking and moving. The transcriptions and interpretations of the Phalaena trio are dedicated and intensely human. This unique instrumentation and the music chosen defies all the clichés surrounding the accordion and offers a surprising take on InchknownInch music by an InchunknownInch instrument. Album Tracks 1.
