QUIET CELEBRATION - CD QUIET CELEBRATION

Popis - QUIET CELEBRATION:
A quartet formed by Spaceship Eyes synth man Don Falcone, revolving around the line-up of Ashley Adams' contrabass, the woodwinds of John Purves and bayan/tabla playing of Edward Huson. An atmospheric mix of ambient, jazz, electronic and the ethnic. The rhythms have a Moroccan-sounding feel, although everything from the synths through the woodwinds to the percussion is all very 'ambient' sounding. Overall, a superbly played, composed and produced album of exotic and sedate instrumental delights. Ambient world-jazz made by musicians who have worked with Heavenly Music Corporation, Henry Kaiser, Spice Barons, Beth Custer and Spirits Burning. 49 minutes of music in the styles of Roach, Reyes, Barre Phillips, and The Long Hello. Quiet Celebration has opened for Grassy Knoll and S.F. dub jock DJ Sep. Review: 'Falcone and Quiet Celebration have produced a near-perfect blend of ambient and jazzy/world music, relaxing and mellow, but always stimulating and engrossing. I was often reminded of artists on the ECM catalogue (Jan Garbarek and Trilok Gurtu are two that spring to mind) and I think fans of the label could well find a lot to enjoy.' -- Dave Griffith, 'Audion Magazine,' #46
