04/24/11
"Dans les Arbres is an intriguing and almost willfully soft and subtle confab of improvisers, featuring Norwegian pianist Christian Wallumrod (playing almost entirely with prepared piano – and played pianissimo), the tone-exploring French clarinetist Xavier Charles, guitarist-banjoist Ivar Grydeland and percussionist Ingar Zach. All involved avoid traditional instrumental techniques, including Grydeland’s use of bow, percussive effects and other techniques sans fretboard, and Zach’s use of breath, friction, using a large drum as a resonator and ceramic bowls for chiming effects, all of which makes the witnessing the band in live action a special event, worth seeking out.
As free music goes, this refreshingly understated group is not about technicalities of blowing or expressionistic excess, but a venture in sound painting by committee. Groupthink runs especially hot here, in a way meditative – but active - beneath the surface and around the edges." - Josef Woodard/Jazz Times

thanks be to Fadda for supporting our crow with no mouth concert series.
very excited to present this quartet - clarinetist Xavier Charles played in our 2013 season with the trio Ruhrr - Guylaine Cosseron (vocals), Frederic Blondy (piano), & Charles. pleased he is returning.
in this quartet, most ECM listeners are likely familiar with pianist Christian Wallumrød, he has a large presence in the catalog.

Beauty always has that element of transience that is spoiled when we draw clumsy attention to it.
