Floating in mid-air
Elizabeth Alker presents music that gives the feeling of floating in mid-air. Including Matthew Halsall鈥檚 levitating spiritual jazz and the hushed vocals of Arthur Russell.
Elizabeth Alker presents music that gives the feeling of floating in mid-air, featuring trumpeter Matthew Halsall鈥檚 levitating spiritual jazz on a live concert recording of his album Salute to the Sun. There鈥檚 hushed, half-sung vocals from Arthur Russell on his DIY no-wave album World of Echo, a merging of dub studio techniques, cello explorations and heartfelt lyrical pop. Plus a burgeoning duo between Atsuko Hatano and Midori Hirano is solidified on an album of suspenseful and suspended compositions that give you that feeling of riding in a high-speed elevator, not knowing if you鈥檙e travelling up or down.
