详细介绍:
Although it stems from a work that Iyer originally crafted back in 2011, one could hardly imagine a better title for a 2021 album release than Uneasy. As the world wobbles onto its post-pandemic footing and the United States begins to take stock of the social and political toll from years of continued divisiveness, any optimism or forward motion one may feel is almost always tempered by the reality of that which came before. That anger and frustration with the past and the resultant realism about the future is at the core of the pianist%27s first trio album for ECM since 2015%27s Break Stuff. Like that outing, Uneasy relies on tight, confident interplay between three highly skilled and unique musicians, but this lineup is all new, featuring double-bassist Linda May Han Oh and drummer Tyshawn Sorey.
Iyer%27s skills as a player, composer, and collaborator have since grown considerably and Uneasy is an excellent showcase for all of them. Children of Flint and Combat Breathing are stunning compositions, focusing on the human costs of political negligence and malfeasance, forces that have unmistakably driven the uneasiness behind the album%27s title. Children of Flint is the more rigorous of the two, opening the album in a dramatically unfolding manner, but Combat Breathing definitely holds its own, finding a sturdy groove that%27s fueled by fire—not funk—and culminating in a cluster of sonics that evaporates into the ether like so much tear gas. The interplay between the three players is remarkable throughout, most notably on the dramatic Entrustment, which relies on telepathic communication between the rhythm section and Iyer%27s piano; likewise, Retrofit—a piece written for sextet and appropriately complex—gets handled deftly by these three, giving each plenty of opportunity to shine. Of course, it%27s Iyer%27s piano work that holds down the entire affair, and as he wends through the dense, melodic Touba, he manages to evoke Coltrane%27s spiritual-era changes, but with a more pensive vibe, while on the solo piece Augury, his playing is both insistent and introspective. On Uneasy, Iyer continues his unique balancing act of presenting complex and demanding compositional ideas in a framework that%27s welcoming and accessible, with players who see eye-to-eye and can help execute that vision in a way that%27s imaginative and invigorating. © Jason Ferguson/Qobuz
