Xose Miguelez - Contradictio - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Triocity is the collective trio of drummer Rich Thompson, bassist Jeff Campbell and multi-woodwind player Charles Pillow, all longtime faculty members of the acclaimed Eastman School of Music and partners in numerous musical projects over the years. Along with Pillow's use of clarinet and flute, the sonic qualities and harmonic opportunities afforded the non-chordal ensemble creates an intimate, conversational recording of this collection of jazz, bebop, and Tin Pan Alley classics.

While looking through songbooks of traditional Galician music, Spanish saxophonist Xose Miguelez happened upon a recording by the ethnic musicologist Doroth' Schubart of a ballad, sung by his own Great-Aunt Amparo almost 40 years ago in Cerdedelo-Laza, a beautiful village hidden in the Galician hills. All of the compositions on InchOntologyInch come from a four-note motif at the beginning of that ballad. Album Tracks 1. Ontology 2. Chasing Myself 3. Frozen Roses 4. Sweet Delia 5. Missed Call 6. Esperanza 7. Autum Flower 8. Shelter 9. Under the Big Tree 10. Great Aunt Amparo Sings a Song

The duo found that their approaches to music fit well together, as they both had backgrounds in jazz and classical music. Dominguez's Spanish influences were not foreign to Noiberg, as her background in the widely eclectic music of Israel provided touchstones to the Iberian Peninsula and her own involvement with Latin American music gave her a grounding in some Latin rhythmic ideas. Further, many of the Israeli folkloric pieces that Noiberg introduced to Dominguez reminded him of holiday tunes from his native Andalusia. Album Tracks 1. Algerias de Cai 2. Canción de Amor 3. Carrusel 4. Chango 5. HH 6. If I Think of You 7. Lôro 8. Morenika 9. Na'ama 10. Paramus 11. Plaz de Mina
