Description:

WÃ¤hrend er die Marimba auf "Time Frames" als melodisches Instrument einsetzt, zelebriert der Perkussionist Michael Waldrop ihre UrsprÃ¼nge als afrikanisches Perkussionsinstrument, indem er provokante rhythmische UnterstrÃ¶mungen als Gegengewicht zu seinen schwebenden Melodien und Improvisationen schafft. Umgeben von anderen renommierten und musikalisch vielfÃ¤ltigen Perkussionisten wie Gordon Stout, Brad Dutz, Jose Rossy und Marko Djordjevic, treiben die gesteigerten rhythmischen FÃ¤rbungen Waldrops fÃ¼nf Originalkompositionen voran. Jack Coopers ausladendes "Three Mediterranean Views" gibt dem Pianisten Steve Snyder Raum, wÃ¤hrend zwei Schlagzeuge fÃ¼r die Hurricane-Power hinter "Katrina's Path" sorgen. Stilistisch breit gefÃ¤chert - von zarter, klassischer Kammermusik bis hin zu vertrackten, groovigen Marimba- und Percussion-AtmosphÃ¤ren oder wilden Schlagzeugwellen - behÃ¤lt "Time Frames" ein musikalisches Zentrum bei, das in der tiefen, fundamentalen menschlichen Verbindung zum Rhythmus schwelgt. -

... infused with influences from minimalism, popular music, and other styles and genres, but always informed with musical sensibility, harmonic sophistication and intelligence. Most importantly, Michael Waldrop is both a lifelong fan and staunch devotee of both mallet keyboard percussion and all things drumming. - Gordon Stout. While featuring the marimba as a melodic instrument throughout "Time Frames," percussionist Michael Waldrop fully celebrates it's origins as an African percussion instrument, creating provocative rhythmic undercurrents to offset his soaring melodies and improvisations. Surrounding himself with other renowned and musically diverse percussionists Gordon Stout, Brad Dutz, Jose Rossy and Marko Djordjevic, the heightened rhythmic colorings propel Waldrop's five original compositions. Jack Cooper's expansive "Three Mediterranean Views" gives space to pianist Steve Snyder, while two drum sets provide the hurricane power behind "Katrina's Path." Famed marimbist Gordon Stout's "Incoming" is a virtuosic study for himself on marimba and Waldrop on drum set. Stylistically vast - from delicate, classical chamber music, to intricate, groove-laden marimba and percussion atmospheres, or ferocious waves of drums - "Time Frames" retains a musical center, one that revels in the deep, fundamental human connection to rhythm.
