Quiet Inlet
Food
ECM Records.
When facing the brink
of a new world, sometimes all one needs is a little push. That said I hardly
expected my nudge to come from electronic composer Christian Fennesz, but there
his name sat on the cover of Quiet Inlet. No wonder it was my first ECM
purchase!
As foggy and damp as
its cover suggests, Quiet Inlet merges ambient soundscapes and jazz
instrumentation into a single current. Boasting a sound more meditative than
any other jazz-related album I purchased this year, Food’s airy saxophone
passages and echoed drums resonated like a welcome seasonal awakening.
