ALBUM<\/span> REVIEW<\/span> for UNIVERSAL<\/span> CODE<\/span> by Jan Hocek in SKJAZZ<\/span>.SK<\/span><\/a>, 02\/03\/2023<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Sin\u00adce 2007, the Aus\u00adtri\u00adan (though born in Paris) saxo\u00adpho\u00adnist and com\u00adpo\u00adser Muri\u00adel Gross\u00admann has been releasing albums of extra\u00ador\u00addi\u00adna\u00adry qua\u00adli\u00adty and artis\u00adtic depth.  She has been living in Ibi\u00adza sin\u00adce 2004 and has deve\u00adlo\u00adped a distinct\u00adly spi\u00adri\u00adtu\u00adal approach to modern jazz.  She thus deve\u00adlo\u00adps the lega\u00adcy of John Col\u00adtra\u00adne, com\u00adbi\u00adnes Afri\u00adcan music, modal jazz, gos\u00adpel, blues, free jazz, acid-jazz and Eas\u00adtern tra\u00addi\u00adti\u00adons in a com\u00adple\u00adte\u00adly natu\u00adral, com\u00adplex, expres\u00adsi\u00adve, rhyth\u00admic and nar\u00adra\u00adti\u00adve man\u00adner with full-bloo\u00added vigor and sen\u00adsi\u00adti\u00advi\u00adty at the same time.  After all, we alre\u00ada\u00addy review\u00aded four of her pre\u00advious albums here: CD<\/span> Muri\u00adel Gross\u00admann \u2013 Momen\u00adtum (Dream\u00adland Records, 2017), CD<\/span> Muri\u00adel Gross\u00admann \u2014 Rever\u00adence (Dream\u00adland Records, 2019), CD<\/span> Muri\u00adel Gross\u00admann \u2013 Quiet Earth (Dream\u00adland Records, 2020) and CD<\/span> Muri\u00adel Gross\u00admann  \u2014 Uni\u00adon (Dream\u00adland Records, 2021) and with enthu\u00adsi\u00adasm.  On the new recor\u00adding, she found a true uni\u00adver\u00adsal code of modern jazz;  tog\u00ade\u00adther with her team\u00adma\u00adtes, she lite\u00adral\u00adly crea\u00adted the essence of the most vital, the most endu\u00adring jazz, regard\u00adless of cur\u00adrent fashions and trends.  After all, the\u00adre are real\u00adly excel\u00adlent instru\u00admen\u00adta\u00adlists play\u00ading in her quar\u00adtet.  Gui\u00adta\u00adrist Rado\u00admir Milo\u00adj\u00adko\u00advic, a nati\u00adve of Bel\u00adgra\u00adde, stu\u00addi\u00aded music in Bar\u00adce\u00adlo\u00adna from 2002, then per\u00adfor\u00admed and recor\u00added with, for exam\u00adp\u00adle, Chris\u00adti\u00adan Lil\u00adlin\u00adger, Johan\u00adnes Fink and Joa\u00adchim K\u00fchn.  He has been living and working in Ibi\u00adza sin\u00adce 2007, whe\u00adre he beca\u00adme a regu\u00adlar team\u00adma\u00adte of Muri\u00adel Gross\u00admann.  Orga\u00adnist Llo\u00adren\u00e7 Bar\u00adcel\u00f3 was born in Mal\u00adlor\u00adca, ten years ago he work\u00aded in the Euro\u00adpean Jazz Orches\u00adtra, with David Mur\u00adray and his band accom\u00adpa\u00adnied James \u201cBlood\u201d Ulmer on his Euro\u00adpean tour.  He curr\u00adent\u00adly plays exten\u00adsi\u00adve\u00adly with Afri\u00adcan musi\u00adci\u00adans, is a mem\u00adber of the Ghost Seed trio, and sin\u00adce 2018 has also been play\u00ading with Muri\u00adel Gross\u00admann.  Drum\u00admer Uros Sta\u00admen\u00adko\u00advic from Bel\u00adgra\u00adde stu\u00addi\u00aded and work\u00aded in Bar\u00adce\u00adlo\u00adna, \u200b\u200bfrom whe\u00adre he moved to Toron\u00adto, Cana\u00adda in 2008, later to New York, and retur\u00adned to Ser\u00adbia in 2013.  A year later he star\u00adted working with Gross\u00admann.  Aus\u00adtri\u00adan bas\u00adsist Gina Schwarz, who cer\u00adtain\u00adly does not need to be intro\u00addu\u00adced here, is a guest on three tracks (out of nine).  I\u2019ll admit that her dou\u00adble bass in Tran\u00adsi\u00adence is into\u00adxi\u00adca\u00adtingly cap\u00adti\u00advat\u00ading;  howe\u00adver, her vir\u00adtuo\u00adsi\u00adty is not an end in its\u00adelf, on the con\u00adtra\u00adry, it expands the expres\u00adsi\u00adve\u00adness of jazz by a direct\u00adly phy\u00adsi\u00adcal dimen\u00adsi\u00adon.  After all, right from the ope\u00adning, nine-minu\u00adte long track Reso\u00adnan\u00adce, the lis\u00adte\u00adner is expo\u00adsed to the attack of some\u00adthing almost other\u00adworld\u00adly, sim\u00adply inde\u00adscri\u00adba\u00adble.  The rhyth\u00admic flow is satu\u00adra\u00adted with acid, the organ is psy\u00adche\u00adde\u00adli\u00adcal\u00adly blur\u00adred, as if cra\u00adcked, ever\u00ady\u00adthing has a hyp\u00adno\u00adtic effect.  And over that rolls a melo\u00addious and pas\u00adsio\u00adna\u00adte saxo\u00adpho\u00adne, bea\u00adting from the heart, from the insi\u00adde of a woman, which has tur\u00adned into a pul\u00adsa\u00adting, expan\u00adding Uni\u00adver\u00adse.  The sopra\u00adno in par\u00adti\u00adcu\u00adlar, with her fero\u00adcious melo\u00addious\u00adness, enhan\u00adces the spi\u00adri\u00adtu\u00adal effect of the music;  in addi\u00adti\u00adon to Reso\u00adnan\u00adce, the\u00adre are also the tracks Cla\u00adri\u00adty, the more than ten-minu\u00adte long Inter\u00adcon\u00adnec\u00adtion and Essence).  Howe\u00adver, it must be added that the enti\u00adre album does not have a sin\u00adgle weak\u00adne\u00adss and if you let yours\u00adelf be absor\u00adbed, you will be reward\u00aded with an extra\u00ador\u00addi\u00adna\u00adry lis\u00adtening expe\u00adri\u00adence that has the power to tru\u00adly enrich your life.  It\u2019s not just music, it\u2019s some\u00adthing that tran\u00ads\u00adcends a per\u00adson\u2026 Of cour\u00adse, I\u2019m bela\u00adted\u00adly inclu\u00adding this album in my Top 10, or rather now Top 11!<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
