Chasing Shadows

Product Description
With their eighth release, Pearl Django is broadening their musical horizons. The new CD features three guest artists and some exceptional new compositions by members of the group. The wonderful French guitarist from Paris, Patrick Saussois, joins Pearl Django on three tracks and has contributed an original tune to the mix. His compelling roots in this music make him one of the elite of European gypsy jazz guitarists. One of Seattle’s best drummers, Mark Ivester, is featured on five tracks of Chasing Shadows. And accordionist, David Lange, who can be heard on previous Pearl Django CDs, contributes some of his most tasteful playing ever. Overall, Pearl Django's best and most eclectic disc yet.

Chasing Shadows and catching dreams!.......2005-07-11

The editorial review says it all. This has got to be Pearl Django's best album! When the Seattle newspapers noted the death of co-founder Dudley Hill, I had assumed this group might simply try to re-create the same Pearl Django sound, as represented on their recent recordings. The last two albums are notable for their uplifting swing, and light hot club touch, and they are fine additions to anyone's collection. However, with this new release, Pearl Django wisely does not seek to recapture the past but has moved on to create music of more depth and complexity. If Dudley's absense represents a loss of the band's natural connection to the "american swing" tradition, as it assuredly does, then the listener cannot but note, and commend these musicians for, their new and unabashed embrace of a darker, eclectic sound, that is essentially more european based. This music is urbane, musically mature, and beautifully crafted. While the editorial review notes the incredibly strong contributions of accordianist David Lange and guitarist Patrick Saussois, it needs to be mentioned that this is also the strongest album for the band-members themselves - primary soloists Neil Andersson and Michael Gray have never sounded better nor more in-command of their respective crafts. Greg Ruby is finally given his due presence on this album and his contributions shine. Bassist Rick Leppanen has a strong presence throughout; it seems the engineer has found a way to record the full spectrum of sound of the bass in all of its subtlety and, because Rick can now be heard more clearly, it must be said that he is obviously one of the most-swinging-est bassist in jazz today. However, Chasing Shadows is far more than a collection of great material and superb solos - it represents Pearl Django as one of the greatest ensemble groups of our time: in short, their arrangements are absolutely beautiful, with performances all beautifully realized. I do not pretend to know what accounts for this new-found level of maturity and mastery, whether or not this depth is in part a result and reaction to the untimely death of Dudley Hill. But I do know I can recommend this album to others whole-heartedly and unreservedly. - Jon

Product Description

This meditative piano/vocal collection of meditative songs seeks to address grief, loss and healing in a culture where death and dying have been reduced to cold statistics. Beginning with a plea for peace, "Earth to Control" and ending with a declaration that life goes on after death, "The Road Goes On". These songs are spiritual without being religious, and almost hypnotic in their ease and simplicity.

Album Description

In 1976 John Etheridge joined two distinctively different musical groups, one was the jazz fusion outfit Soft Machine, the other was the touring group of the celebrated jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli. With Chasing Shadows, Etheridge revisits the Grappelli territory but in the spirit of exploration rather than nostalgia. He is joined on this musical journey by rhythm guitarist Dave Kelbie, bassist Malcolm Creese & Chris Garrick, the best young violinist in today's jazz scene. The titles on this set range from the classic Hot Club of France title track (with Etheridge playing Django Reinhardt to Garrick's Grappelli) through inspired versions of John Coltrane's 'Giant Steps' & 'Moment's Notice'.

Sublime ,Genius ,Soul wrenching ,and unkown in the US........2005-04-30

I dont write reviews ,but this needs to be done. This album is about despair ,loss , and angst. It should have come with a promotional razor blade. It is also hauntingly beautifull ,a car accident in slow motion ,you cant quite take your eyes off. If you dont think you can be tortured and moved at the same time ,listen to this album. The lead vocalist is very subdued ,instead concentrating on telling his story. I'm into rock ,alternative ,etc ,but this is jazz ,and will destroy your perceptions of what music should do to you.
