Intervals
Solo Work for Woodwinds, 2001
Ned Rothenberg inaugurates his new label, Animul, with Intervals, a 2 cd set
that is his first solo release in almost 10 years. Rothenberg's solo work on
alto saxophone, clarinet, bass clarinet and shakuhachi has been internationally
acclaimed with over a thousand performances on 4 continents since 1980. His
musical voice is built on a timbral palette that integrates 'extended' and standard
instrumental technique into a seamless whole. As co-producer Marty Ehrlich writes
in his portion of the albums' notes: "With this double CD, we can hear
where Ned Rothenberg has arrived after 20 years of exploring the solo concert
and recording. Few artists of his generation have dedicated themselves so fully
to this endeavor, and few have traveled so far. Solo playing has always put
a premium on giving meaning to the statement, ' This is what I have to say,
and how I have to say it' . I feel that Ned has arrived at a place where technique
and artistic influence are truly secondary to the immediacy of bringing the
above quoted statement to life. We are the richer for it."
