| I DON'T GET IT - Uri Caine Mahler CD
Hi Ed,
I thought that since I've developed into quite the Berio enthusiast, it would be interesting to hear Uri Caine's Mahler CD again (the Primal Light one with the yellow case) and see what reactions I have after being so enthralled with Mvt. 3 of Sinfonia.
I have to say that I think I'm missing something, and maybe by opening up a discussion about this I can find out what I've been missing about the jazz genre in general.
There are a lot of different ways to describe how what Mr. Caine did on this CD can appeal to people, so would you mind sharing how you feel this project:
1. Stimulates you intellectually
2. Stimulates you emotionally
3. Inspires you musically
4. Influences you creatively
5. Sheds a new light on Mahler
6. Challenges you
7. Has artistic "value"
8. Has a purpose
I have to say that I'm not going to pass any judgement on the music and I have spent FAR too little time living with the music to really even know what I think about it, but at this early juncture, I have to say that I'm not sure what to make of it. Can't wait to go hear him play live in Feb.!
Thanks,
David |
