Moments (Jazz & Improvisation)

_{“Die mit mystischen Inhalten voll gepackte Pipa verwertet Natur- und mit grossen Emotionen gefüllte minimalistische Klänge und begeistert durch ihren sanften Sound.” mehr…
Klaus Hübner, Jazz Podium, Stuttgart}

_{“Yang Jing holt aus ihrer Pipa, eine chinesische Laute, viel mehr heraus, als es die Tradition vermittelt…Da gab es knallige Effekte, luftige Flageolettklänge und durch lyrische Tremoli erzeugte Kantilenen voller Farbe.”}
_{Dominik Schnetzer in Neue Zuger Zeitung}

Review in All about Jazz (English)

‘This music is intimate, beautiful and wonderful. It has an aesthetic that is hard to qualify, with Jing and Doran demonstrating what accuracy and precision can mean to an overall sound, even if the notes are limited and sparse, Doran can’t help himself and needs to give some fast runs once in a while, but then there not of the showing off kind.

A highly unusual yet very nice album.’ – by Stef

_{“The rhythmic force and string bends that Yang Jing brings to her Salü Abend can suggest roots in the Mississippi Delta, while Doran infers multiple musical languages in the shifting tracery that he applies to Yang’s melody on Birnenblüten.” more…}
_{Stuart Broomer, MUSICWORKS MAGAZINE, Toronto/Canada}

_{“On “Moving East”, Yang’s florid thumb-picked melodies over four-finger tremolos recall flamenco guitar while on “Salü Abend” her sweeping string-bends into deep scalloped frets evoke Mississippi Delta slide blues and her scooping ornaments on “Birnenblüten” echo an Indian sitar.” more…}

_{“…Even though Favre as well as the highly decorated pipa master from Beijing explored different areas of the world and styles, the exoticism vanished after a short period of adjusting the ears. What was far more intriguing was how instruments so different in sound and dynamics are able to tell stories together.”
Frank von Niederhäusern in Tages Anzeiger, Switzerland}

_{“The combination- at times concertante, then again in surprisingly saturated “Tutti” – is rooted in the rich experience of the musicians [Yang Jing and Pierre Favre] …who through their superior technical skills have the capability to add a strong character to the tiniest musical inflection…”
David Wohnlich in Basler Zeitung (Basle Daily) Switzerland}

_{“…New worlds of sounds are created and the rhythms shift. Grand World Music in a small formation.”
Lorenz Schaffner in Luzerner Woche (Lucerne Weekly), Switzerland}

CD «Moments II» Erzählungen 1 – 7

_{“There is a comforting, hypnotic effect throughout the CD [“Moments“, with Swiss drummer Pierre Favre & Pipa Yang Jing] with the artists experimenting with a freeform approach and an interesting combination of sound and silence. It is a unique collaboration and a unique recording that gets under the skin even of cynics like me.”
