Simultaneous
Windows is the third suite
in bassist/composer Bill Noertker's Blue
Rider series, a collection of compositions
inspired by the art of Paul Klee, Wassily
Kandinsky, Franz Marc, Robert Delaunay, and
Alexei Jawlensky. The Blue Rider group
coalesced around the notion of the "inner
necessity" of true art, which can be
expressed in very different forms and
styles. The rich sonic palette and
inimitable avant-melodic chamber jazz
stylings of Noertker's Moxie create
a diverse and vibrant array of aural
paintings that evoke the playful
chromaticism and ceaseless spiritual
questing of this important group of
painters. In the last decade, Bill Noertker has composed over 175 original pieces of music for jazz ensemble and has released seven CDs on Edgetone Records. His compositions point to the continuity between the jazz tradition and the avant-garde. His use of group improvisation and his attention to the individual voices of each of his bandmates call forth the human element so sorely missing from much of today’s jazz.  |
