Eight: Sharing a Small Planet - Take One
Thanks to all of you who completed our recent survey. It is great to know you better.
Sharing A Small Planet was different from most of the pieces in the UPLIFT series. It’s different in that I had a very specific groove in mind, and I wanted to hear us develop this idea of a form over this groove within the span of a 5 minute improvised piece. After the first take, I wasn’t sure we had made it. Often when you are in the middle of a piece — playing — it is difficult to judge the result. On listening back months later, I fell in love with both tracks. The second take (track 9 of this album) is significantly different. The band was surprised I called for a second take, and so they went some very different places.
As a subscriber, you get access to both tracks, so you can judge for yourself the difference between these two takes. Peace to you, and may peace overwhelm the whole world.

In the Ivory
by Matt Ulerysupported by 585 fans who also own “Sharing a Small Planet - Take One”
This is one of the albums that really sweep me away, no matter which track I'm listening to, and its pleasantly long running time of almost 80 minutes guarantees a maximum sweeping effect. Basically, Matt Ulery is a jazz musician and composer playing the double bass, but the magic he creates on this and other albums is well beyond the confines of the genre. The brilliant varied orchestrations clearly put it into a neo-classical chamber music frame, frequently reminding me of Argentine chamber folk, and the smooth vocals contributed by Grażyna Auguścik and Sarah Marie Young add considerably to the magic, as does the piano work of Rob Clearfield, who's a great composer himself.
