██ ██
██ Long ago, when the world was younger and far more innocent, a ██
██ British TV commercial challenged its viewers. Take a particular ██
██ brand of fruit pastille (Rowntree's, to be specific), place it ██
██ in the mouth, resist the temptation to chew. So deliciously ██
██ fruity was the pastille that such resistance would be futile. A ██
██ similar challenge might be initiated for From Istanbul To Ceuta ██
██ With A Smile, from the Swiss-born, UK-based guitarist Nicolas ██
██ Meier. Take the album, press Play, listen, resist the temptation ██
██ to smile. ██
██ ██
██ Meier is a man of eclectic tasteùa heavy metal guitarist with ██
██ 7even, a master of acoustic steel and nylon strung guitars and a ██
██ lover of Turkish music, he's even a member of a jazz-classical- ██
██ pop fusion band called Eclectica!. His love of Turkish music has ██
██ led Meier to produce a series of albumsùincluding Yuz (Naim ██
██ Records, 2007) and Journey (MGP Records, 2010)ùon which he's ██
██ fused this music with jazz and other styles. From Istanbul To ██
██ Ceuta With A Smile is filled with inspiration from Turkey, but ██
██ also from Spain, Argentina, the Middle East and the United ██
██ States, forged skilfully into Meier's original compositions. ██
██ ██
██ The center of this music is Meier's beautiful playing: precise ██
██ intonation, fluid single note lines and strong rhythmic grooves ██
██ burst out of his instruments. The fast-paced "To Ceuta" features ██
██ Meier at his most breathtakingly swift; on the elegiac "Memories ██
██ (in the memory of Peter)" he's at his most melancholy and ██
██ considered, a mood matched by Gilad Atzmon's clarinet and ██
██ Patrick Bettison's harmonica; on "The Wind" his playing is at ██
██ its most forceful, underpinned by powerhouse drums and ██
██ percussion from Asaf Sirkis and Demi Garcia. ██
██ ██
██ Meier may be at the album's heart, but he not alone. In fact, ██
██ he's put together a larger-than-usual ensemble for this album, ██
██ mostly musicians who have worked with him on previous projects. ██
██ While Atzmon and Bettison make the biggest contributionsù ██
██ Bettison's bass playing is also exemplaryùno player ██
██ underperforms. Violinist Lizzie Ball and cellist Bernard ██
██ Gregor-Smith (both members of Eclectica!) add striking harmonies ██
██ to "The Gate." James Pearsonùmusical director at the legendary ██
██ Ronnie Scott's Club in London's Sohoùadds a classically-flavored ██
██ piano solo to "The Lightness" and an eloquent, jazzy one to "To ██
██ Ceuta." ██
██ ██
██ Meier's desire to mix musics from across Europe and the Middle ██
██ East shows no sign of abating. As From Istanbul To Ceuta With A ██
██ Smile demonstrates, it shows no sign of becoming stale or ██
██ repetitive either. Meier uses his extended group to expand his ██
██ musical range with great successùand with a smile. ██
