DIETER ILG — Mein Beethoven (2015) FLAC (tracks), lossless

"A listening pleasure not only for die-hard jazz fans but for everyone who loves music." (Thomas Quasthoff) "Dieter Ilg's music is true relaxation for me that doesn't fit into any category. For me, it's freedom music. With Beethoven, the wonderful trio with Rainer Böhm and Patrice Heral offers me a menu that embraces me and carries me forward. Dieter Ilg's new CD is called 'Mein Beethoven.' It's not, but it was his music, and now it's mine." (Vincent Klink, Michelin-starred chef and jazz musician) ACT

LARS DANIELSSON — Libera Me (2004) SACD, Hybrid | APE (image+.cue), lossless

This intriguing set features the compositions and bass playing of Lars Danielsson. The music is beautifully recorded, often sparse (à la ECM) and thoughtful. The instrumentation varies from track-to-track even if the mood tends to stay quiet and reflective. Soprano-saxophonist David Liebman is featured on "Libera Me," singer Caecilie Norby has a guest pop vocal on "Newborne Broken," and the Danish Radio Concert Orchestra is heard with their huge string section on a few numbers, sometimes sounding a little sleepy. Other than a few spots for Nils Petter Molvaer's introspective trumpet, most of the other solos are by bassist Danielsson. This melodic set works well as both background music and for close listening although it develops slowly. Scott Yanow
