▓████▓▌ [ A B O U T . T H i S . R E L E A S E ] ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "Drummer-led albums can be somewhat pale affairs. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ After all, the ability to swing hard and play ▓▌
▓████▓▌ various grooves does in itself not necessarily ▓▌
▓████▓▌ suffice to create well-rounded, highly personal ▓▌
▓████▓▌ pieces of music. Climbing the Banyan Tree, though, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ is different. It is all about melody, the central ▓▌
▓████▓▌ element in bandleader Momin's approach to drums. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Rather than more or less enthusiastically swaying ▓▌
▓████▓▌ through his parts in set tempos, Momin builds up ▓▌
▓████▓▌ tension by pulling back and forth his time, in the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ way of a singer or a violin player. Hunched over ▓▌
▓████▓▌ his carefully tuned drum kit and various percussion ▓▌
▓████▓▌ items, he concentrates on building a dynamic scope ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of attack and tone shaping. As such he follows a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ path that before him has been trodden by people ▓▌
▓████▓▌ like Andrew Cyrille (who was one of Momin's ▓▌
▓████▓▌ teachers) and, within a somewhat more traditional ▓▌
▓████▓▌ framework, Chico Hamilton. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Through the efforts of Momin's sidemen (Shanir ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Blumenkranz on bass and oud, Jason Hwang on violin) ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the combination of instruments works very well ▓▌
▓████▓▌ together. With the percussion weaving in and out, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ oud and arco violin freely circle around each ▓▌
▓████▓▌ other, as do bass and pizzicato violin, the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ pizzicato violin at times assuming the function of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the oud. The oud is a fretless Arabic lute, which ▓▌
▓████▓▌ carries an age-old, highly respectful musical ▓▌
▓████▓▌ tradition in the Near East. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ In the local way of making music each musician ▓▌
▓████▓▌ organizes his part from the same melody, depending ▓▌
▓████▓▌ on the characteristics of his instrument. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Intonation then becomes an art in itself, giving ▓▌
▓████▓▌ way to much more melodic subtlety than is possible ▓▌
▓████▓▌ in the rather clunky Western well-tempered system, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ as exemplified in any given keyboard instrument. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ One could compare the basic approach of these ▓▌
▓████▓▌ musicians to this Arabic concept of performing, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ albeit with a much more free sense of improvising. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Hwang's very musical glissandos and skillful ▓▌
▓████▓▌ intonation only deal with the terror of well- ▓▌
▓████▓▌ tempered tuning when he feels like it. As such, his ▓▌
▓████▓▌ well-versed playing skills dip into the full ▓▌
▓████▓▌ potential of his instrument. Blumenkranz keeps his ▓▌
▓████▓▌ bass and oud parts a bit more close to the ground, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ but very effective and musical nonetheless. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ As the great Willie Dixon remarked, Arabic music ▓▌
▓████▓▌ has the same feel as blues. One might describe this ▓▌
▓████▓▌ music as highly improvised Oriental blues. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Although Momin's compositions at times suffer from ▓▌
▓████▓▌ a triadic simplicity which goes a bit too far ▓▌
▓████▓▌ beyond plain folksy, these players are so well ▓▌
▓████▓▌ versed in the concepts of improvisation that they ▓▌
▓████▓▌ don't let a minor detail like that inhibit them. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Climbing the Banyan Tree is a pearl of a record, as ▓▌
▓████▓▌ unassuming as it is beautiful. Idiosyncratic as the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ basic idea may sound, from its extended ▓▌
▓████▓▌ improvisational stylings it manages to present us ▓▌
▓████▓▌ through its universal bluesiness with a deeply ▓▌
▓████▓▌ enjoyable, high quality listening experience." ▓▌
