Release Date: 02/04/22
Most sacred Hungarian contemporary jazz from a guitar-saxophone duo accompanied by string players with Liszt pieces and touches of Gregorian.
The title of Gábor Gadó's latest album is replete with mystery: 'Whispering Quiet Secrets Into Hairy Ears'. It speaks of the wisdom of age, the facility our ear acquires of filtering out the essence of what has to be heard, of the inner hearing of this sedimentation of the essence deposited in the human soul as the years pass by.
From the spirit of ancient liturgical modal music (the Gregorian style of Solum Ipsum) to modernist angularity (the dislocation of lines in Lucidum Intervallum), the guitarist-composer continues to pursue a legacy that audiences have heard accumulating on the BMC label since the end of the 1990s.
Having journeyed thus far in his oeuvre, and his life (getting on for 65) Gábor Gadó embarked on a vital collaboration with János Ãvéd, his junior by 26 years.
The Pater Noster which closes the album is borrowed from Ferenc Liszt, as is Vexilla
Regis, which takes as its source a hymn of the sixth-century bishop Venance Fortunat.
