简介：
In ‘Hope’ Robert Len and producer André Perry’s musical approach provides an
admirable example of Count Basie’s motto “Less is more”. Composer, arranger
and multi-instrumentalist, Robert Len continues to explore the universe of
sound, after having integrated world music in his first album ‘MessagerMessenger’, following with jazz and pop in ‘Fragile’. Now, with exceptional talent and artistic finesse he delivers a new album ‘Hope’ in
which each musical element selected is totally essential. In ‘Hope’
everything has its place; the intelligence of producer Perry’s production style is palpable. Len and Perry succeeded in creating
an extraordinary acoustic balance in which the exclusion of one
small component could compromise an arrangement’s effectiveness – just as the addition of one ingredient could weigh it down.
Len’s inclusive musical approach integrates Classical elements
with Jazz, Pop, World Music and New Age, fusing them in such
manner that one hears only one thing; MUSIC. Moreover, his
knowledge of musical rules reinforces the album’s unique blend.
Robert juggles with his instruments’ colors, artfully amusing
himself with a play of timbre, harmony and melody. It is therefore not surprising that listening to his music transforming itself so
spontaneously and playfully is such a joy.
In ‘Hope’, more so than in his previous albums, Robert Len is inspired
by Jazz, more precisely by Cool Jazz. During the short period in
American jazz (1949-1955), arrangers/musicians were at the forefront
due to their careful scoring, their subtle harmonization and their sophisticated arrangements.
