LIVING MUSIC
PAUL WINTER CONSORT/Miho-Journey to the Mountain: It always seems like you need to be a granola eater to appreciate Winter’s music when you read the hype that comes with it, but Winter and his merry band manage to cut through all that to find the meat on the plate and deliver music that’s mind blowing, mind bending and always different. Here we find him recording his impressions of a museum based on Shangri-la, designed by I.M. Pei when he specifically came out of retirement to do so. So what can we expect from the man that gave us the music of the wolf? How about some more great new stuff from an old guy with a relentless spirit that doesn’t seem to be giving any thought toward retirement. Kicking it off with a familiar feeling sax riff that ought to be in any world jazzer’s DNA by now, Winter brings his Grand Canyon to Shangri-la and creates a work in line with all of his top stuff of the last 30 years. We might not have heard from him in a while, but this cat is the Reggie Jackson of world jazz. Well done. 09/24/10 >> go there
