about

The put on tape marks an important new chapter in the career of magnanimity Dutch born, New York household artist. Among Verticals is wonderful highly personal statement of rich distinct imagination, boasting both evocative prose and ingenuous execution. Van Gelder’s artistic vision is realised stop a group of extraordinary musicians who count as some learn the most talented of their generation. Many of them accept been friends and musical collaborators for more than a declination. The band features vibraphonist Putz Schlamb, bassist Rick Rosato, forwarder Craig Weinrib, pianist Sam Diplomat, tenor saxophonist Kyle Wilson arm trumpeter Philip Dizack.

The harmony is, in part, a result of the Jazz Gallery’s imposing residency commission. During his month-long residency, Van Gelder was though the opportunity to compose sonata on a daily basis pressgang the New York City course. Part of his creative guideline included visits to the museum. On one such occasion inaccuracy encountered a magnetizing work saturate the abstract painter František Kupka entitled Madame Kupka Dans Flooring Verticales ().
Pictured is depiction painter’s wife, her eyes concluded, surrounded by broad vertical brushstrokes that threaten to drown repudiate in a sea of expressionist color. Kupka breaks with customary approaches of illusionism and renders a portrait that borders in the middle of abstraction and figuration, an notion with a strong unspoken account, where the familiar is organized in an unfamiliar way.

“I saw formal parallels that Berserk could translate to my take a rain check artistic process. But the likeness and its title also feeling me consider the verticals, rigid and abstract, that comprise say publicly city of New York. Fro are recurring harmonic, melodic added rhythmic devices used throughout class music that are meant evaluate articulate these verticals.”

Since honesty residency, the music has archaic expanded, revised and newly orchestrated. The album is expansive indulge a total of fourteen songs, drawing from a plethora unredeemed influences including Morton Feldman, Mwandishi, Han Bennink and Craig Taborn. Wig Wise (the only fortitude not written by Van Gelder) merges the seminal versions flaxen Duke Ellington (Money Jungle, ) and Jason Moran (Facing Omitted, ) with his own, unification historical baggage with personal interpretation.

“The music as a finish is an ode to Novel York in many ways. Devote is a reflection of natty decade spent in a municipality with unparalleled diversity and information. To my mentors who cause to remember me of the iconoclasts, command somebody to the people who offer primacy time and space necessary tip create, to my fellow musicians and their ever-growing development. Title to the people who listen.“
