Description
'Dismantling the Waterfall' was the first album recorded on the Edition label. Released in April 2008 by label boss Dave Stapleton and Matthew Bourne, two of Europe's finest pianists.
The album is a collection of short, breath-taking improvisations captured on one day in Besbrode Pianos, Leeds in late 2007. As much the result of European Art Music as of Jazz, as much inspired by Paul Bley and Keith Jarrett as by Shostakovich, Ravel and Bach, Dismantling the Waterfall is a meeting of musical minds and improvisational values. It is a matter of light and shade. Their music is a combination of talents and visions, highly visual music that conjures filmic images which suggests its European sensibilities. Stapleton and Bourne are musicians of hip tastes and exponents of some of the finest improvised and composed music coming from the UK scene.
"There's no show-off virtuosity, but instead a surprisingly winning regard for sound as sound, and an eclectic approach that covers Satie-like sentience, Cecil Taylor knuckle-isms and Viennese abstraction." - The Independent on Sunday
