Album US 2013 on Skirl Records label
Jazz and Classical (Contemporary, Modern)
released April 27, 2014 Leah Paul - flute/compositions Michel Gentile - alto flute Chris Speed - clarinet Ben Kono - oboe Sara Schoenbeck - bassoon Rob Jost - french horn Tanya Kalmanovitch - viola Peter Sachon - cello recorded and mixed at Brooklyn Recording by Don Piper mastered by Mell Detmer The Big Takeover “This is proudly proclaimed to be composed music, though many of the players, including Paul herself (who has played with Anthony Braxton), are associated with the free improvisation/jazz scene(s), clarinetist Chris Speed and bassoonist Sara Schoenbeck being the best known. There are two pieces, the two-movement Steps to Stairs, which opens the album, and California Quintet, in six movements. The music is entirely tonal, perhaps a bit influenced by Minimalism in its gestures, but not in its structures: it develops more quickly and switches moods more often. The contrasting timbres of strings and woodwinds-the latter dominating-are handled adeptly and do a lot to keep the music sparkling and attractive.”
