' '
,: In 1957, American composer Gunther Schuller first referred to :,
: the synthesis between classical music of European tradition and :
:' jazz as ôThird Streamö. Since then, many creators have offered ':
,: their versions of this marriage. One of the most recent such :,
: experiments is the new album by saxophonist Quinsin Nachoff, the :
:' very ambitious Pivotal Arc. A colossal undertaking, it required ':
,: the services of musicians from New York, Toronto, and Montreal. :,
: :
:' The album opens with a violin concerto featuring Quebec ':
,: violinist Nathalie Bonin as lead soloist, delivering a :,
: breathtaking performance. She traverses the three movements of :
:' this work with impressive aplomb and creativity, her extremely ':
,: colourful playing highlighted by the work of the indefatigable :,
: rhythm section of double bassist Mark Helias and drummer Satoshi :
:' Takeishi. These two top jazzmen impart a deconstructed tango ':
,: cadenza to this composition that evokes BΘla Bart≤k, Igor :,
: Stravinsky, and Balkan music at the same time. The contribution :
:' of the wind and strings section led by JC Sanford is also to be ':
,: underlined. :,
: :
:' The second piece on the program is a string quartet that ':
,: Nachoff created for the Molinari Quartet. The members of the :,
: Montreal ensemble clearly enjoyed playing this work, which is :
:' reminiscent, once again, of Bart≤k, but also of the Second ':
,: Viennese School. Nachoff shows beyond any doubt that he is a :,
: creator who has nothing to envy contemporary composers of :
:' classical allegiance, even though he comes from the jazz world. ':
,: :,
: :
:' A superb solo by Helias opens the title track, a piece closer ':
,: to jazz that offers a splendid conclusion to the album. Takeishi :,
: and Toronto vibraphonist Michael Davidson are particularly :
:' imaginative. The mysterious atmosphere that the music exudes is ':
,: resolutely modern, although at times it is influenced by Duke :,
: Ellington and Billy Strayhorn. The piece ends its rotation on :
:' itself with another solo by Helias, bringing this very ':
,: successful opus by Nachoff to a fitting conclusion. :,
