Das FlowFlow-Musikrätsel (no. 35) – Auflösung

von links nach rechts:

die wiederveröffentlichung eines albums von keith hudson and the soul syndicate (brilliant and dark dub) // eine alte ecm platte, die john kelman sehr mochte, von jack dejohnette: new rags // forever voiceless von brian eno, die instrumentalversion von foreverandevernomore // eine lieblingsplatte von mark smotroff, simple things von zero 7 // und gitarrenzauber von bert janschs advocet (there were not so many musicians and bands that came to würzburg in my student‘s days, but i will never forget bert jansch playing solo in the Omnibus. He complained about noised at the bar area, but i sat in front row and was stunned.)

• „But if Timeless’s combined exploration of keyboard-driven electricity and stripped down acoustic elegance, Gateway found that unique nexus where Holland’s predilection for groove met with the freewheeling trio’s collective improvisational chemistry. New Rags, in contrast, explores three DeJohnette compositions of remarkable diversity, alongside Foster’s more harmonically ambiguous but potently swinging „Flys,“ and „Steppin‘ Through.“ A rocking, near (but not quite) fusion powerhouse that closes the album on a supremely fiery note, „Steppin‘ Through“ moves from pedal-to-the-metal intensity as Foster’s opening salvo finds its way to more spacious, open terrain, only to return to its unrelenting, riff-driven intro for a nuclear solo from Abercrombie. Pushed to even greater extremes by DeJohnette’s cymbal-heavy power groove before the entire quartet brings things down for an ultimate fade-out, it’s one of the guitarist’s best of the set, overdriven and utterly unfettered.“ (John Kelman aka Dave Binder in 2015 on „New Rags“)

i kindly announce a magic music riddle appearing within the next 48 hours, in the tradition of a moment of Antonioni‘s Blow Up: you have to look carefully at a photo, enlarge the details, go into ever corner, and then you might find the solution – or fail!
