Description: | The signature-lyricism and melancholy of Colin Vallonâ??s compositions as well as his trioâ??s understated three-way interaction remain magically intact on Samares. Yet, much has evolved in the sound of the Swiss pianistâ??s group since their last record for ECM, 2017â??s Danse, among other things Vallonâ??s freshly introduced use of electronics to modulate his instrumentâ??s pitch. Dynamic extremes are explored and tuneful hooks â?? some melody-, some harmony-, others beat-based â?? patiently assembled, often completed in mesmerizing fashion. Where subtle rhythmic twists and harmonic progressions constructed around piano triads recall cutting-edge inspirations from the world of artrock, other expositions reveal a tight-knit jazz trio elaborating a chamber sound focused on close listening and reacting. Recorded at Luganoâ??s Auditorio Stelio Molo in 2023, Samares was produced by Manfred Eicher. - Track title 8 is spelled "Souch" on O-card back and tray card, "Souche" in booklet.
