Detours
is 'Blue' Gene Tyranny's first album of new piano works since 2003's
Take Your Time
(LCD 1066). A beautifully recorded collection of tracks composed between 2004 and 2010,
Detours
belongs to a rarefied class of supremely listenable and beautiful piano albums that are not encumbered by any new-age shabbiness. It possesses the sort of timeless and elegant romanticism so unpretentious and accomplished it seems to at once effortlessly canonize itself. The four pieces on
Detours
have their origins in disparate sources of inspiration -- a longtime friend in San Francisco, a chance visit to a Quaker meetinghouse, a choreographed dance, philosophical intuition. Harmonic discourses begin at a pre-determined location and wind up at a totally unexpected place. Tyranny is a master pianist, able to follow mood and impulse to uncharted new territory. Recommended for fans of Harold Budd, Keith Jarrett, and Robert Ashley."
