Об альбоме (сборнике)
Django is a smooth, sophisicated duo recording Ali Ryerson made with her longtime collaborator, the noted guitarist, Joe Beck. A true DSD recording.
Guitarist Joe Beck has played with everyone from Miles Davis to flamenco king Sabicas, while flutist Ali Ryerson has worked with Stephane Grappelli & Luciano Pavarotti. Together, they make beautiful music.
Part of what makes this duo special is Beck’s alto guitar, which employs a tuning of his own conception that matches up exceptionally well with Ryerson’s sultry-sounding alto flute. With Beck able to cover an expansive range that accesses both rich bass notes & higher-pitched chordal structures & Ryerson’s lush tone & adroit improvisational abilities, each player perfectly complements the other, witnessed by the deft work on “Laura,” “O Barquinho” & “Carioca Blue,” a vibrant Beck original. For a change of pace, the pair offers a medley that moves from “Come Together” to “Alone Together,” seamlessly uniting 2 seemingly unlike pieces of music. The program concludes with “Danny Boy,” gorgeously harmonized by Beck & sensitively interpreted by Ryerson.
No ordinary guitar/flute duo, this pair has a unique sound & combined set of abilities that embraces a variety of styles & enables them to produce chamber jazz at its best.
- By Jim Ferguson
Django is a smooth, sophisicated duo recording Ali Ryerson made with her longtime collaborator, the noted guitarist & Woodbury resident, Joe Beck. A much sought after arranger & composer, Beck was the 1st guitarist to record for Miles Davis when the jazz superstar went electric in the 1960s. The guitarist/arranger has worked for such pop & jazz stars as Frank Sinatra, Duke Ellington, Stan Getz, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Paul Simon & James Brown. What makes this new duo recording unique is the subtle blend of Ryerson’s alto flute (pitched lower than the conventional C-flute) & Beck’s alto guitar. Invented by Beck, the specially designed instrument is tuned so that he can play bass lines & chords simultaneously. With its all-alto instrumentation, the duo, inevitably, had to call itself Alto. Alto’s sound is so surprising & individualistic that it can fool the ear with its orchestral chords & bass lines. Initially you might think there was overdubbing on Django or that the duo had been beefed up with a bass player. But there’s no overdubbing & no stowaway bass player. Nonetheless, 1 critic scolded the record company for not giving credit to the bass player on the duo’s debut release, which was called “Alto.”
Score 1 for Beck’s invention
With its mellower, lower tones, quiet dynamics & natural harmonic bent for the lyrical & intimate, Alto exudes a classical chamber music aura. At the same time, however, the duo retains the spontaneity of jazz. Its new disc sounds pretty, even poetic, especially on standards like “People,” “Tenderly” or “When I Fall in Love.” But for all its sweetness & light, the album is untainted by saccharine, New Age sentiment. It can even rise to the elegiac as it demonstrates on “Django,” the title tune written by composer/pianist John Lewis as a requiem for the genius gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt. Beck’s resonant, dark & sometimes-mysterious chords create a magical mix with Ryerson’s airy, expressive flute lines. Because of its surprising, out-of-the-ordinary sound, 1 critic described Alto’s music as “pleasantly from out of left field.” On this disc, Chick Corea’s “Spain” is a small masterpiece with its haunting unison passages. Ryerson’s shimmering flute lines are a mini-ode to joy as they dance on Beck’s bass lines & chords.
