Meditative States
Corey Mwamba presents meditative new improvised music from solo piano studies to reflections on Buddhist teachings.
Guitarist Tashi Dorji joined forces with drummer Susie Ibarra back in 2019 for an exhibition exploring the life and teachings of 8th century Indian Buddhist master, Padmasambhava. Believed to have brought Buddhism to Tibet, his philosophies included beliefs around self-transformation, impermanence, and the nonlinear nature of time. Here, the duo conjure shapeshifting transmutations that stretch and evolve with shades of dark and light.
New York-based pianist Lucian Ban, known for his work blending Transylvanian folk music and European classical music with improvisation, is back with his first unaccompanied solo album. Recorded in his native Transylvania in a grand hall on a B?sendorfer piano, it’s an offering of tonal quietude, washing over in gentle waves, and a snapshot into his contention that “improvisation is just composition in real time”.
Elsewhere, we dive into the subtle ferocity of cellist Tomeka Reid, guitarist Joe Morris, cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum and exquisite vocal work from Kyoko Kitamura. A foursome playing with texture, pitch, and daring presence.
