Jazz Alchemy

Descripción

Heiner Stadler's Jazz Alchemy (LAB 7024) is a transformation more than two decades in the process, comprising wide-ranging variations on two compositions which he wrote in the 60's and 70, and recorded at sessions in 1974, '75, and '88. Classical pianist Joshua Pierce, the duo of Marilyn Crispell (piano) and Reggie Workman (bass), and the trio of trumpeter Charles McGhee (who at times plays two horns at once!), bassist Richard Davis, and drummer Brian Brake take Stadler's song structures beyond genre distinction by sublime acts of musical sorcery.
