Having gathered up praise from
Mary Anne Hobbs
,
Cerys Matthews
,
Jamie Cullum
,
Gilles Peterson
,
Huey Morgan
and more, for his lauded
Crisis & Opportunity
, drummer and composer
Myele Manzanza
returns with the fourth instalment of his series, titled
Meditations
. On
Meditations
, we see Myele revert to a purely acoustic line-up, channeling a focused and razor-sharp return to his jazz roots. Showcasing an incredible level of musicianship between three musicians at the top of their game -- including
Matthew Sheens
(
Ross McHenry
,
John Patitucci
) on piano and
Matt Penman
(
Joshua Redman
,
SFJAZZ Collective
) on double bass -- the trio exchange motifs over the length of seven tracks. Opening proceedings with frenetic rhythmic improvisation, complimented by melancholic and cinematic layers of sound, "Crayford's Room" is a tribute to Myele's musical mentor back in New Zealand. Remembering his time as a student in Wellington, Myele shows his deep connection to his origins, manifesting itself as lament on "Winter" and "Homesick." Introducing hypnotic, contemplative melodies take center stage on "Something Old Something New" (the first single to be released from the project). It maintains a sense of tension and intrigue throughout, and intensity rises to a crescendo sending sonic particles sprawling into space. Intuitive, darker and deeply contemplative, Myele shares his innermost thoughts on Crisis and Opportunities Vol.4 - Meditations.
