But what do you call it!

Welcome to ‘Dodd’s DSD Discoveries’, a review series from NativeDSD Senior Music Reviewer Bill Dodd. This series focuses on Bill’s latest selections, with new reviews regularly.

The amazing classical cellist Maya Fridman joins with jazz musicians, pianist Atzko Kohashi and acoustic bass player Frans van der Hoeven, to create something unique!

It’s wonderful, it’s superbly played; but what is it? Yes, it’s jazz, but Maya Fridman’s cello makes for something like classical chamber music. Or, chamber jazz. (I didn’t coin that phrase, by
the way, but it works.) The three musicians play together as one, even as they occasionally improvise.

The recording is amazing. For me, this is music for being alone – perhaps with a dash of melancholy.
It’s music that suggests a dream – one you don’t want to lose when you wake up.

Quiet, thoughtful, calming- but this music is never “background.”
But what do you call it? I call it uniquely involving, beautifully played, soul-touching music!
I hope you will take the time to “discover” this one for yourself.
