Blackwater Bridge
Blackwater
Bridge finds Gary Hassay returning to Drimala Records with his new recording
that proves (as if, after 1999's literally brilliant
Another
Shining Path, he had anything to prove) that he engages on the deepest possible
levels in his musical interactions...probing and anticipating his partner's biorhythms
with utmost sensitivity. Working this time with harpist Anne LeBaron, on Blackwater
Bridge alto saxophonist Gary Hassay engages in a sustained tour de force over the
span of ten separate compositions that bridge the gaps of much uncharted territory.
"The
confluence of Hassay's saxophone and LeBaron's harp surpasses the confines that are
commonly adhered to. As the pieces unfold, vistas that owe no allegiance to any
predetermined tonal system come sprawling into view -- landscapes that defy ordinary
perspective.
"Sensory
reassessment and architectural construction -- unbelievable work for just two musicians
and their instruments? The substantiation lies within: a sonic bridge, lovingly,
carefully and meticulously constructed from the basic elements of strings and reeds.
Listen and let it move you. Let it ease your passage to realms otherwise
undiscovered. Let it in...and you will be transported." -- Scott Hreha
