Recorded Live in Barcelona, november 12, 2004
Woven with the colorful tapestry of a full jazz orchestra,
this live recording in Barcelona captures the music of
Argentinean pianist/composer Guillermo Klein, who is noted for
his cerebral, progressive, and culturally rich music. The
concert was captured in the intimate setting of the Luz de Gas
Theatre-hall and it conveys closeness between the musicians
and an enthusiastic audience. The highly orchestrated
compositions range from the gaucho-istic opening piece "Blues
de Liz" to the street vibes of "Juana" and the romanticism of
"Ojos Cerrados," featuring vocalist Carme Canela.
Klein uses his orchestra to its full potential. The music
changes through many forms, like along the surreal lines of
"Intercambio Moral," where the piano and other instruments
provide dissonant notes behind the somber melody. The dancing
rhythm of "Child's Play" is threaded with a funky guitar riff;
"Chucaro," laden with complex horn arrangements, beautiful
flute work, and rich percussion. The intricacies of Klein's
writing skills are captured on "Richard," with its moving horn
work, addition of voice, and detailed melodic patterns and
solos. There are many memorable individual efforts, but the
accent is unmistakably on the orchestra as a whole, which
fully realizes its role through Klein's ingenious use of music
and interpretation to capture oneÆs imagination.
