Seven superb improvisers from different geographic and aesthetic regions come together – virtually – in this fiery kaleidoscope of free improvisations. The band is in sync but the parts were improvised and recorded separately. Fernando Benadon carefully assembled the tracks by trimming and juxtaposing the players’ improvisations, highlighting their individual subtleties of rhythm and color. The result is a sophisticated and forward-looking take on the classic symbiosis between composition and improvisation.
The genre is as multidimensional as the musicians’ pedigrees: violinists Courtney Orlando (Alarm Will Sound) and Evan Price (Turtle Island String
Quartet), violist Kurt Rohde (Left Coast Chamber Ensemble), bassist
Michael Formanek (Mingus Big Band), clarinetist Marco Mazzini (Thelema
Trio), percussionist Christopher Froh (San Francisco Contemporary Music
Players), and drummer Nasar Abadey (Supernova).
Praised as “engagingly forward” by The New York Times, Fernando Benadon studied jazz arranging at Berklee and composition at UC Berkeley. Intuitivo is his debut album.
Players:
Courtney Orlando, violin
Evan Price, violin
Kurt Rohde, viola
Marco Mazzini, clarinets
Michael Formanek, bass
