Kaja Draksler – The Lives of Many Others (2014)
Jazz/Classical | FLAC lossless | cuesheets+log | covers | 41m57s | 123mb
Label: Clean Feed | cat. no. CF286CD
I find this one of the most beautiful albums of new piano music to come out in recent years, either in jazz or classical. The largely improvised compositions combine the two genres effortlessly. Slovenic artist Kaja Draksler has digested many influences, forging them into a style all her own.
I saw her at North Sea Jazz this year, together with trumpet player Susana Santos Silva. The two women gave a concert that was perhaps a little bit too much avant-garde to the taste of the average festival visitor, but it kept me in my chair for the duration of the entire session. Draksler, who had grown her hair long, is a very elegant young lady who strokes the keys of the piano much like an eagle’s wings caress the air.
