Classy six-page digipak available for the first time in America! Includes a brilliant interpretation of Jimi Hendrix’s composition “Cherokee Mist,” never released by Hendrix himself, which was taken from a rehearsal tape made in the studio before he left us. In Jimi Hendrix’s lifetime his mystique as a supreme improviser and spontaneous, intuitive performer often overshadowed his talents as a songwriter. But as composer/producer Brian Eno has pointed out, “Hendrix was one of the most significant composers of the 20th century, and a far too underappreciated one at that.” Geri Allen is exceptionally well qualified to challenge the thorny problem of translating rock music played by a fiery lead guitar, bass, and drums into a new music played entirely by three pianos. Allen combines advanced academic methods of technical training with the instrumental ability to realize her musical ideas. She has integrated numerous musical influences and has established an original, many-faceted eclecticism as her style. A superb pianist, she has virtually unlimited capabilities as an improviser in all styles. Appeals to Hendrix fans as well as lovers of jazz and contemporary music.
“An imaginative contemporary set that’s right off the beaten track.” — The Guardian |
