5.0 out of 5 stars
Labels are not definitive, March 27, 2001
This review is from: Hearinga Suite (Audio CD)
The music on this recording is not easy listening. Nor is the listener encouraged to believe that it was ever meant to be. This communication searches, explores but never arrives. This is not to say that this is a mass of dissonant, rhythmic trash. No, these vibrations populates a cottage of high level consciousness. It is difficult to paint a clear picture of this music. Labels are ill suited to describe its content. It simply is empyreal music.
One can appreciate this work ,and not be well versed in the language of jazz. It is very symphonic in many ways. Unexpected keyboard timbres are used effectively. Your attention is demanded gently as the sublities of expression may be losted. Mr. Abrams is a musician's musician. This set of orginals offers its listener the chance to soar. Your transport are the mediums of rhythm, harmony, melody and mental imagery.
This set is dedicated to two of the Mr. Abrahms friends. If these two people were as beautiful, mysterious and accessible (as the music) then they were definitely worth knowing.
