about

A spiritual, introspective journey through a universe made of mountains, celestial bodies and powder of dreams.

André B. Silva's second album brings to life a project that was in the making for over six years. Mt. Meru is a chimera of jazz and contemporary chamber music properties. With an unusual formation in this genre, André expands a concept that he's been working on in his various projects: long stretches of written and orchestrated music alternating with moments of improvisation featuring the brilliant musicians who are accompanying him on this record.

This albumstands out for me. Likely the Trio configuration as it's clean, concise, and you can hear everything that's going on. Definitely a favorite! Jonathan Pryor

Common Ground

The eponymous title is introduced by an expressive dialogue of strings between the violinist and the double bass player. What comes next has a spectral beauty, the five bandmates improvising spontaneously a moving sound mass which rises in power very slowly like a tide. This is a perfect piece to illustrate the inexorable movement of the Solaris protoplasmic ocean. In the end, though, the triumph of this music is to charge off in the direction of something entirely new. Dragonjazz
