ALEXANDRA GRIMAL | LEE KONITZ | GARY PEACOCK | PAUL MOTIAN - Owls Talk (2010) FLAC (tracks), lossless

"An incredible encounter. A moment suspended in time. I don't have the words to describe what happened on those cold days in December 2009. Singular emotions, beyond anything language can express. A waking dream… or the awakening of a dream?
They entered the studio one by one. We got going very soon. The mood was joyful. On Lee’s sweater, a cat swathed in a scarf. Paul, true to form, in sneakers and dark glasses. Gary, with an infinitely gentle smile. We took out the instruments. Paul fixed the cymbals on the drum kit. Silence. "Begin anywhere," John Cage would say. Leap into space: first sound, second sound, off we go. Producing a sound is a way of expressing one's existence in the world. The sound rends the silence. The silence is not the same afterwards. It is still heavy with sound, as if marked by its emotion. Sound as an identity, a genetic  code. The sound of each instrument speaks of itself." Alexandra Grimal
