{"product_id":"denny-zeitlin-labyrinth-0016728128322","title":"Labyrinth","description":"Solo piano performance takes me back to my earliest roots, and allows for perhaps the most intensely personal musical statement. - Denny Zeitlin \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWe know from Greek mythology that a labyrinth is a maze that seemingly never ends. When a musician performs before an audience, he\/she leads the listener through the maze-thread of his\/her artistic mind with artistic fulfillment beaming at the exit point.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Labyrinth has a special meaning for the celebrated pianist\/composer\/psychiatrist Denny Zeitlin, a composer of import and an artist with more than sixteen recordings as a leader and who has worked\/recorded with many, including Charlie Haden, Herbie Hancock, and Pat Metheny. Labyrinth is the name of a composition he originally recorded in the sixties with bassist Charlie Haden and drummer Jerry Granelli, and it is the title of his second solo piano release on Sunnyside Records. The album was recorded in July 2008 in Sebastopol, California as part of Ernie Shelton's House Concerts, a special series of home-centered performances for small audiences.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e While I've enjoyed the excitement involved in walking out on a stage to a huge audience, I have also cherished the unique intimacy created in smaller settings, such as a room in someone's home, filled with less than 100 people, Zeitlin writes in the CD liner notes. And if those people are willing to reach out and meet the music halfway, then boundaries between player, instrument, room, and audience can easily dissolve, and some very deep, rich music may occur. Ernie Shelton's House Concerts provided this atmosphere, and I believe something special emerged. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn that engaging and intimate setting, this profound and pleasing program of American popular songs, jazz standards, and original compositions is Zeitlin s most successful musical house call to date.","brand":"Sunnyside Records (Goodtogo)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53920028295510,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/denny-zeitlin-labyrinth-0016728128322","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
