| | Beschreibung: | "If people thought it was a bit strange, then they didn't say," says Bill Wells of the stellar cast of collaborators who played and sang on his album Nursery Rhymes. "I made it all clear pretty early on in proceedings and everyone seemed up for it." Well, actually, it is a bit strange, but then think of Wells's trademark combination of spare, melodic compositions with adventurous arrangements for The National Jazz Trio of Scotland -- particularly his adaptions of Christmas songs on their Christmas Album (KK 070LP, 2012) -- and he's a perfect fit for the job. After winning the inaugural Scottish Album of the Year award in 2012 for Everything's Getting Older, which he made with former Arab Strap vocalist Aidan Moffat, Wells secured some funding from Creative Scotland to go make an album in New York City with a musician he had long admired, Karen Mantler, the vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and band-leader -- and daughter of innovative jazz musicians Carla Bley and Mike Mantler. Wells made an initial visit in early 2014 to meet Mantler, find a recording studio, and start recruiting musicians. He was able to fund National Jazz Trio of Scotland vocalist Aby Vulliamy's trip over to sing and play viola on the album, but in the spirit of the commission decided that he would otherwise only record musicians who were in or around New York. Vocalists Syd Straw, Amy Allison, and Isobel Campbell; Yo La Tengo; Satomi Matsuzaki and Greg Saunier from Deerhoof; legendary vocalist and composer Annette Peacock; violinist Charlie Burnham, who has played with Cassandra Wilson and James Blood Ulmer; singer and Tony-winning actor Michael Cerveris; and Amber Papini from the band Hospitality all joined the sessions, as did Bridget St John, the English singer/songwriter and long-time resident of New York. Wells's long-time collaborator Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub) produced the album. Nursery Rhymes recasts these funny, violent, coded, centuries-old sentiments as fresh, new creations. Wells is a brilliant arranger and does wonders in finding new ways of looking at the songs, and drawing more out of their strong but spare melodic material. "They should be quite disturbing," he observes. "Because ultimately part of the remit of a nursery rhyme was to give your child some of the harsh realities of life, while sugar-coating them with a catchy little melody. But I'm losing that coating and going straight to the nub of the thing.", Runningtime: 00:00:00, Artwork: Jad Fair, Drums: Georgia Hubley, Guitar: Ira Kaplan, Piano: Bill Wells, Viola: Aby Vulliamy, Vocals: Karen Mantler, Piano: Bill Wells, Vocals: Amy Allison, Vocals: Isobel Campbell, Drums: Georgia Hubley, Glockenspiel: Karen Mantler, Guitar: Ira Kaplan, Piano: Bill Wells, Viola: Aby Vulliamy, Vocals: Amber Papini, Bass: James McNew, Drums: Georgia Hubley, Guitar: Ira Kaplan, Organ [Hammond Organ]: Karen Mantler, Piano: Bill Wells, Violin: Charles Burnham, Vocals: Amy Allison, Bass: Kato Hideki, Bass Clarinet: Doug Wieselman, Piano: Karen Mantler, Vocals: Syd Straw, Bass: Kato Hideki, Drums: Greg Saunier, Piano: Bill Wells, Vocals: Aby Vulliamy, Piano: Bill Wells, Vocals: Michael Cerveris, Harmonica: Karen Mantler, Piano: Bill Wells, Vocals: Bridget St. John, Bass: James McNew, Drums: Georgia Hubley, Piano: Bill Wells, Vocals: Georgia Hubley, Vocals: Norman Blake, Bass: Kato Hideki, Percussion: Greg Saunier, Piano: Bill Wells, Violin: Charles Burnham, Vocals: Aby Vulliamy, Glockenspiel: Karen Mantler, Piano: Bill Wells, Vocals: Isobel Campbell, Bass: Kato Hideki, Glockenspiel: Karen Mantler, Percussion: Greg Saunier, Piano: Bill Wells, Viola: Aby Vulliamy, Vocals: Satomi Matsuzaki, Bass: James McNew, Drums: Georgia Hubley, Guitar: Ira Kaplan, Piano: Karen Mantler, Viola: Aby Vulliamy, Vocals: Karen Mantler, Melodica: Annette Peacock, Piano: Bill Wells, Violin: Charles Burnham, Vocals: Annette Peacock, Bass: James McNew, Drums: Georgia Hubley, Glockenspiel: Karen Mantler, Guitar: Ira Kaplan, Organ [Hammond Organ]: Karen Mantler, Piano: Bill Wells, Viola: Aby Vulliamy, Vocals: Norman Blake, Piano: Bill Wells, Vocals: Aby Vulliamy, Vocals: Satomi Matsuzaki, Bass: Kato Hideki, Glockenspiel: Karen Mantler, Piano: Bill Wells, Vocals: Satomi Matsuzaki, Bass: James McNew, Drums: Georgia Hubley, Piano: Bill Wells, Violin: Charles Burnham, Vocals: Amy Allison, Harmonica: Karen Mantler, Piano: Bill Wells, Violin: Charles Burnham, Labelcode KARK88.1 (88 LP) | | | Anzahl der Titel: |
