Brandon Lopez - No Es La Playa (CD)

Dreamlike experiences. Sparks fly and a musical interactionworks without arrangement or plan. An organic musical processdevelops out of intuition alone. The same magic happens everytime.When Brandon Lopez, a New Yorker with Puerto Rican roots, joinedthe duo of saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock and drummer Tom Rainey,this wasn't simply about adding a plus one to the Laubrock -Rainey duo. Thanks to the young bassist (born 1988), alreadycollaborating with musicians from Dave Liebman via Zeena Parkinsto John Zorn, a new dynamic has formed involving all three. Inthis triangular constellation a different balance is achieved and analtered play of energies. They are clearly on the same wavelength,with a similar sense and understanding of overarching form, innerstructure, timing, feeling, energy, density, transparency andvolume."Right from the first note the chemistry between them was right.The interplay between the three worked so effortlessly andnaturally it bordered on telepathy. The three want to keep up themomentum and capture the magic moment," writes ChristophWagner in the liner notes.
