Excerpt from the review in All About Jazz:
“ Melos is an extraordinary musical document from the team of pianist/composer Vassilis Tsabropoulos and cellist Anja Lechner (with subtle percussion support from U. T. Gandhi on a number of tracks) that sits at the nexus of many worlds, including East and West, composition and improvisation, dance and meditation, mind and body. The music mesmerizes as it progresses, with each of the viewpoints surfacing both independently and together, producing a sense of continual change and an experience that can be overwhelming”
Holy Cow. . . these XRCD24 from Audio Wave can really show you what condition your system is in. This is a fine recording from Rudy Van Gelder to begin with, the mastering is great and the sound is just right. Not to mention that this quintet means business.
