Ellen Arkbro & Johan Graden – I Get Along Without You Very Well (CD)
Product Details
Hoagy Carmichael wrote "I Get Along Without You Very Well" in 1939, and the standard has drifted through jazz history carried by everyone from Chet Baker to Stacey Kent. Arkbro and Graden locate something quieter and stranger inside that tradition, bringing the same long-toned, harmonically patient sensibility Arkbro developed through her work with just intonation and drone-based composition into dialogue with Graden's lyrical, searching piano.
Ellen Arkbro & Johan Graden embody the limitless curiosity and fearless innovation of the Swedish and Berlin new music scenes they inhabit. Arkbro is a composer and musician whose work has been presented around the globe at prestigious institutions such as the Barbican in London, GRM in Paris and the Kölner Philharmonie in Köln, and has studied under legendary minimalists such as La Monte Young, Marian Zazeela, and Jung Hee Choi. Graden is one of Sweden's most sought-after pianists, moving freely between classical music and the European contemporary jazz scene. Currently living in Amman, Jordan, he is an active member of the Jordanian experimental pop scene. I get along without you very well is a daring statement from two of the most progressive voices in contemporary music. In allowing themselves to be at their most vulnerable - with each other, their collaborators and with listeners - they have created some of their most powerful work to date.1 Close2 Out of luck3 All in bloom4 Never near5 Temple6 Other side7 Love you, bye8 Waqt
