Nicole Glover - Memories, Dreams, Reflections - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Nicole Glover's work embodies a potent paradox at the heart of the art form known as Jazz in this music, the process of individuation is as much about belonging and sharing as it is about differentiation and idiosyncrasy. To that end, this album is as much a tour-de-force for Glover and her bandmates as it is a tapestry or family-tree of mentors, elders, and peers whose spirits resonate throughout the trio's sound. Glover's choice of working with a wide pallet compositionally (with the exception of the Glover originals, each piece on this record was written by a different composer) helps bring this trio's distinct personality into focus even more. Glover's mastery of her instrument is so complete and self-evident that there is no attempt throughout this record to exercise virtuosity for it's own sake - if anything, one hears restraint, care, intention, and orchestration in every note and every silence.Inch - From the liner notes by Or Bareket Album Tracks 1.
