Muri\u00adel Gross\u00admann \u2013 Natu\u00adral Time<\/strong>
\n<\/span> <\/span>
\n\"Natural<\/a>I have had the plea\u00adsu\u00adre to acquaint our rea\u00adders with the works of Aus\u00adtri\u00adan saxo\u00adpho\u00adnist Muri\u00adel Gross\u00admann, living on the Ibi\u00adza, Spain, for her 2015 album Earth Tones<\/em><\/strong>. On the first day of 2016 Muri\u00adel released a new album under the name of Natu\u00adral Time<\/em><\/strong>. If the pre\u00advious work car\u00adri\u00aded a con\u00adcep\u00adtu\u00adal Gross\u00admann (an over\u00adview of the disk can be found on the web\u00adsite), the out\u00adward\u00adly Natu\u00adral Time is not. As Muri\u00adel descri\u00adbed in an inter\u00adview with JC<\/span> San\u00adders, which for\u00admed the basis of his liner notes, \u201cNatu\u00adral Time is just a sin\u00adce\u00adre mes\u00adsa\u00adge, an album, whe\u00adre we play for ordi\u00adna\u00adry peo\u00adp\u00adle like you and me.\u201d I per\u00adso\u00adnal\u00adly think, it is not so, becau\u00adse here almost every com\u00adpo\u00adsi\u00adti\u00adon, even if not lin\u00adked by a com\u00admon the\u00adme, has its phi\u00adlo\u00adso\u00adphi\u00adcal implications. <\/span><\/p>\n

Howe\u00adver, let us first hear about the obvious chan\u00adges in Natu\u00adral Time<\/em><\/strong> in com\u00adpa\u00adri\u00adson with her pre\u00advious work. Muri\u00adel plays here not only on the sopra\u00adno but also the alto saxo\u00adpho\u00adne. Pre\u00adser\u00adving the for\u00admat of the quar\u00adtet, she and her regu\u00adlar part\u00adner, the gui\u00adta\u00adrist Rado\u00admir Milo\u00adj\u00adko\u00advic, work here with a new rhythm sec\u00adtion. It is the Aus\u00adtri\u00adan bas\u00adsist Gina Schwarz, an old fri\u00adend of Muri\u00adel still in Vien\u00adna, and the Ser\u00adbi\u00adan drum\u00admer Uros Sta\u00admen\u00adko\u00advic. The quar\u00adtet her\u00adein rea\u00adches gen\u00adder pari\u00adty, and per\u00adhaps the balan\u00adce of yin and yang was the key to the harm\u00ado\u00adny and inner balan\u00adce of the per\u00adfor\u00admance of Muri\u00adel Gross\u00admanns music. This, of cour\u00adse, a joke, but in the past, and now the posi\u00adti\u00adve ener\u00adgy real\u00adly comes through with each song of the album.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Title\u00adsong and one of the lon\u00adger pie\u00adces of the album ( \u201eNatu\u00adral Time\u201d) \u2014 I took it as a reflec\u00adtion on the flee\u00adting time, dating back to the bibli\u00adcal \u201ctime to be born and a time to die\u201d of made and missed \u2014 has a beau\u00adtiful solo of Gross\u00admann and Milo\u00adj\u00adko\u00advic, in the back\u00adground a relent\u00adless\u00adly repe\u00adti\u00adti\u00adve rhyth\u00admic sound\u00adscape, inspi\u00adred by just such a pos\u00adsi\u00adbly erro\u00adn\u00adeous inter\u00adpre\u00adta\u00adti\u00adon. In con\u00adtrast to this title pie\u00adce, in the final com\u00adpo\u00adsi\u00adti\u00adon \u201eBliss\u201d, it see\u00admed to me, the\u00adre is no time at all. From this pie\u00adce brea\u00adthes Bud\u00addhism, it is full of inner peace, as if lost in the asce\u00adtic nir\u00adva\u00adna \u2014 again in my free inter\u00adpre\u00adta\u00adti\u00adon of Muri\u00adel Gross\u00admanns music. And the \u201ckey\u201d for the music which hap\u00adpens, the com\u00adpo\u00adser gives hers\u00adelf in the same inter\u00adview for the liner notes. Reflec\u00adtions on hap\u00adpi\u00adness (\u201eHap\u00adpi\u00adness\u201d) with an impres\u00adsi\u00adve bass solo by Gina Schwarz in the intro\u00adduc\u00adtion, and also ano\u00adther does not requi\u00adre expl\u00adana\u00adti\u00adon, the pie\u00adce cal\u00adled \u201ePeace For All\u201d, and dedi\u00adca\u00adted to the plight of Afri\u00adca \u201eAfri\u00adcan Dance\u201d a pie\u00adce with a graceful rhyth\u00admic pattern.<\/span><\/p>\n

And for all this pro\u00adfound\u00adnes, this music is sur\u00adpri\u00adsin\u00adgly easy to lis\u00adten. If the\u00adre is the con\u00adcept of \u201cuser-fri\u00adend\u00adly inter\u00adface\u201d, is appli\u00ades to the music of Muri\u00adel Gross\u00admann, she is fit to intro\u00addu\u00adce a \u201cfri\u00adend\u00adly new jazz\u201d; this style of music is not always found. And the final touch to this review: one thing in the new pro\u00adject remain\u00ades unch\u00adan\u00adged, com\u00adpared to the pre\u00advious: the album cover art again is deco\u00adra\u00adted by Muri\u00adel and her child\u00adren \u2014 abs\u00adtract bright jui\u00adcy colors \u2014 as in the music of Muri\u00adel Grossmann.<\/span>
