| Notes Multi-reedplayer Marty Ehrlich has been associated with ENJA Records for 15 years reaching back to the highly acclaimed, now classic album "Pliant Plaint" (1987). One of the prime figures on the New York scene beyond the mainstream, Ehrlich is considered one of America's "most thoughtful improvisers" (Down Beat). His latest release "Song" received high praise all over the world (The Guardian: Jazz CD of the Week, Down Beat: ****, Jazz Wise: ****) and was repeatedly voted among the top 10 jazz albums of 2001. Two reviews out of many: "Marty Ehrlich is a great improviser - now he proves he can also hold down a good tune. Is there anything this man can't do?" (Guardian). "Saxophonist/clarinetist Ehrlich delivers one of his loveliest, most affecting and melodically refined efforts" (Chicago Sunday).
Now Ehrlich comes up with his "opus magnum", "The Long View", that features him and his music along with his finest colleagues in various ensemble sizes including duet, quartet, septet and a 14-piece "big band." The complete work was composed for a collaboration with the painter Oliver Jackson and also works in interaction with his paintings in exhibition. An inspiration to Ehrlich's music for decades, Oliver Jackson's visual art has also been featured on earlier CD cover sleeves. Commissioned by the Harvard University Art Museum, Ehrlich conceived "The Long View" utilizing a saxophone sextet, a brass quintet, a string ensemble and varied small groups. "I began working backwards and forwards in composing the musical images, much as I had observed Oliver paint," says Ehrlich. "The Long View" proves to be a marvellous musical manifesto - giving the artistic essence of Ehrlich's three decades of musical adventure and a creative balance of the New York Downtown musicians' community. A stroke of luck and genius. |
