Description
Spellbound is a veritable symbol of Trilok Gurtu's vision of world music
With 'Spellbound' Gurtu once again underlines the fact that jazz still forms the basis for his musical oeuvre. With his band he takes a surprising leap into the history of swing
music in the USA and also plays pieces by style-forming trumpeters who have long been
a part of the jazz canon: Dizzy Gillespie's Afro-Cuban classic 'Manteca', or a tribute to
the extraordinary fusion sound of Miles Davis from the 1970s, 'Jack Johnson/Black
Saint', as well as his 'All Blues' from the masterpiece 'Kind Of Blue' and, of course, Don
Cherry's 'Universal Mother' which, with its genre-crossing flow in the version by Gurtu,
is almost like a further motto for 'Spellbound'. With the music on his new album the
percussionist succeeds in something that nowadays is unusual and indeed rare: building
a bridge between the continents and cultures. With 'old' Europe as the geographical
basis which, with its multi-layered cultural and musical history, has become Gurtu's
second home.
