 | | Description: | Mit seiner Sammlung von Aufnahmen der letzten zehn Jahre reflektierte der Gitarrist Corey Christiansen intensiv die gro�en Aussichten auf die Heimat Utah, den Westen und traditionelle Melodien, während er seine Musik dennoch voll und ganz mit einer modernen Jazzästhetik ausstattet. Mit der gleichen Vorliebe für die Erforschung von "Wurzeln" lässt sich Christiansen mit seiner 6. Origin-Veröffentlichung von der Musik inspirieren, die ihn von Afrika, über Kuba bis in die Staaten beeinflusst hat. Obwohl es sich nicht um ein afrokubanisches Album an sich handelt, fügen die spezifischeren Rhythmen und Grooves, die sein Spiel und das seiner Bandkollegen hier - Bassist David Belove, Schlagzeuger Colin Douglas und Percussionist und Co-Produzent Michael Spiro - neue Ebenen der Perspektive, des Tanzes und des Feelings hinzu. - ... Corey Christiansen lights a rhythmic fire that never flickers, punctuating chords with precision and soloing with zeal... - DOWNBEAT. With his collection of recordings over the last decade, guitarist Corey Christiansen reflected heavily on the great vistas of his Utah home, the West, and traditional melodies, while still fully imbuing his music with a modern jazz aesthetic. With that same penchant for exploring 'roots,' Christiansen's 6th Origin release borrows inspiration from the music that influenced him from Africa, through Cuba and into the States. While not an Afro-Cuban album per se, the more specifically explored rhythms & grooves that have always informed his playing, and that of his bandmates here - bassist David Belove, drummer Colin Douglas, and percussionist/co-producer Michael Spiro - add new layers of perspective, dance and feel."La Proxima" is an expressive jazz guitar CD by Corey Christiansen, released on the respected label Origin Records. The album presents a modern, melodically rich approach to contemporary jazz, with Christiansen's guitar sound at the center: warm, singing tones, harmonically sophisticated lines, and a relaxed yet precise sense of groove. Listeners can expect a blend of lyrical ballads, thoughtful mid-tempo pieces and more driving tracks that showcase both his virtuosity and his focus on musical storytelling rather than sheer technique. The production is clean and spacious, allowing each instrument room to breathe and giving the recording an intimate, "live in the studio" character that will appeal to audiophile jazz fans.
Musically, "La Proxima" highlights Christiansen's strengths as both improviser and bandleader. His solos unfold organically, with clear melodic arcs and subtle dynamic shading, supported by a tight rhythm section that enhances the flow without ever overpowering the guitar. The compositions and arrangements move between modern straight-ahead jazz, Latin-tinged grooves and atmospheric passages, creating a coherent yet varied listening experience from start to finish. This makes the CD equally suitable for focused listening and for setting a refined, relaxed ambience.
