Domenic Landolf: New Brighton
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The term, “Impressionism" has been bandied about with such regularity in recent times that it has all but ceased to mean anything, much less suggest the kind of music that came from the pen of Claude Debussy and, a short time later, from that equally famous French composer, Maurice Ravel. Every once in awhile, however, there is a genuine reminder that the art of impressionistic suggestion is alive as it was at the turn of the 19th century. The latest ...

Thirteen musical episodes--simultaneously stressing individual paths, duo rapport and trio interplay--make up New Brighton.

Patrice Moret -bass Dejan Terzic -drums A voice in the twilight. It whispers. It speaks with quiet urgency. It sounds soft, gentle, circumspect. It expresses itself as if it had all the time in the world, without having to force or rush a single phrase. Its tone is pensive, melancholy, detached.
