Jazz Alchemist radio archives with Nina again :)

As said last week, no live program today because I'm at Waclaw Zimpel's concert in Klub Re. And I know that we already celebrated Nina Simone's birthday last week but it's no reason to not do it again - and we will do exactly so with archive program that aired originally last year on 21.02 (you can see the original playlist post). Lot of Nina Simone but also birthdays of Trevor Watts, David "Fathead" Newman, Herb Robertson and some material from then reviewed cd by John Wolf Brennan's Triangulation band. Hope you'll like it.

You can tune in to www.radiofrycz.pl at 8pm CET or go directly below to the mixcloud player which will appear around the same time or even bit earlier.

John Wolf Brennan - The Speed of Dark (solopiano/nonsolopiano) [Leo]

The Speed Of Dark

John Wolf Brennan

Steinway piano, Yamaha piano, arcopiano, prepared piano, tamburopiano, framepiano, indian harmonium, accordion, hohner melodica, pizzicatopiano, irish whistle...

Leo Records 2009

I've been struggling to put my finger on it for quite a while. This is a piano player solo cd, that has little to do with a solo piano recording. During 23 short pieces of music you'll hear piano interlayered with field recordings, whistles, accordion, melodica, or another piano. You'll hear piano played with a fishing string, with drum mallets or a piano prepared with metal objects, you'll hear its natural voice distorted in many strange ways.
