 | | Description: | Der Bassist und Komponist Yuri Goloubev aus Moskau vollzog den Wechsel von einer Karriere im Bereich Klassik hin zu Performances im Jazz mit ungewöhnlicher Leichtigkeit. Er ist auf über 100 Aufnahmen zu hören.
â??Two Chevrons Apartâ?? wurde von einem Quartett mit Tim Garland, John Turville und Asaf Sirkis aufgenommen und ist sein erstes als Leader für Basho Records (er spielte auch auf Gwilym Simcockâ??s Album â??Blues Vignetteâ??).
Goloubevs Intention für dieses Album war, dass alle Musiker die gleich gro�e Rolle spielen sollten. Au�erdem sucht er nach Variationen für den Bass zum einen als Soloinstrument als auch als begleitendes Element. Goloubevs Musik speist sich sowohl aus seiner Erfahrung als Improvisationsmusiker im Jazz als auch aus seiner Basis im Bereich Klassik. Die Kombination aus Melodien und harmonischer Tiefe mit spielerischer Leichtigkeit wird ein breites Publikum ansprechen. - Born in Moscow, bassist and composer Yuri Goloubev has made the transition between a classical music career and jazz performance with unusual fluidity. He has featured on over 100 recordings. 'Two Chevrons Apart' features a quartet with Tim Garland, John Turville and Asaf Sirkis and is his first release as leader for Basho Records (he also featured on Gwilym Simcock's Blues Vignette album). Goloubev had a quartet with soprano saxophone in mind from the outset, the soprano providing the most suitable vehicle for the melodic content of this music. He has created a set of pieces that work together stylistically, emphasizing compositional logic, lingering melodic lines and intricate harmony, making the music accessible without compromise. The ensemble features saxophonist Tim Garland and percussionist Asaf Sirkis, two musicians with whom Goloubev has frequently collaborated. They are joined by pianist John Turville. This is a unit of musicians with whom Goloubev feels completely comfortable and together, they are able to play in a more exploratory way. Goloubev's mischievous sense of humour also characterises the music. There is a love of wordplay and a fondness for comic imagery implied in the album title (an ironic response to the idea of being 'oceans apart') and the wryly named 'Dead End Date'. The piece 'Cemetery Symmetry' parodies image conscious musicians. Rather than writing 'bass-lead' music, Goloubev aimed for all musicians to have equal roles. He also seeks to distinguish between the accompanying and solo roles of the bass, accompanying in relatively conventional ways but seeking to emulate the phrasing of a wind instrument or the piano when soloing. Goloubev's music draws both from his experience as an improvising jazz musician and from his classical background, with the piece Beethoven and Schubert: Friends...? inspired by two sonatas. The combination of melodic and harmonic depth with playfulness should have wide appeal with audiences."Two Chevrons Apart" is a CD release by bassist and composer Yuri Goloubev on the independent label Basho. The album presents an intimate, contemporary jazz setting that balances lyricism, harmonic sophistication and subtle rhythmic complexity. Goloubev's double bass is placed at the heart of the music: his sound is warm, singing and highly articulate, allowing melodic lines to flow with the clarity usually associated with a lead instrument. Across the program, the pieces move between meditative, song-like atmospheres and more exploratory passages, creating a cohesive listening experience that rewards both focused attention and relaxed enjoyment.
The recording highlights Goloubev's hallmark qualities: refined intonation, a classical-level control of the instrument and an improvisational voice that feels both modern and rooted in the jazz tradition. Dialogues between bass and the accompanying instruments are shaped with care, often unfolding like chamber music, with dynamic nuances and a strong sense of space. Listeners will notice how carefully the structures are built, how thematic material returns in subtle variations, and how the music maintains emotional tension without resorting to excess volume or speed.
Basho, the label behind this release, is known in the jazz world for its small but carefully curated catalogue. The company places clear emphasis on artistic integrity, acoustic quality and long-term artist development rather than mass-market trends. Their productions typically feature detailed sound engineering, thoughtful artwork and liner notes that respect the listener's intelligence. With "Two Chevrons Apart", Basho once again aligns itself with music that is personal, understated and crafted with a high level of musical awareness.
Yuri Goloubev is an internationally recognized double bassist who has built a reputation for bridging classical precision with jazz creativity. Before dedicating himself fully to jazz, he pursued a successful career in classical music, an experience that shapes his remarkable technical command and tone. In the jazz field he has become a sought-after collaborator and bandleader, known for his lyrical approach to composition and improvisation, his sensitive interplay in ensemble contexts and a growing discography that has attracted critical attention in the European jazz scene. "Two Chevrons Apart" stands as a representative example of his mature, introspective yet communicative musical language. | | | No. of tracks: |
