| Pianist Uri Caine's career has taken a bewildering, almost John Zorn like path from straight acoustic jazz to recastings of Klezmer songs, Mahler and the Goldberg Variations. Like Zorn, he has an unerring ability to completely absorb the essentials of any given genre and regurtitate at will while gently but firmly subverting it, but beneath all the post modernist downtown New York hipness Caine (again like Zorn) is a fantastic musician. If only he'd just slow down a bit... From BBC/Peter MarshWith Nguyén Lê, Reggie Washington and Cornell Rochester he will present a brandew band in Europe that combines free improvisation, funky electronic grooves and rock. |
