Singer Theo Bleckmann and postmodern creative music group Kneebody collaborated to create a new song cycle based on compositions by one of the very first American composers. Kent Nagano invited that project to the Munich Opera Festival to debut the live performance. This recordinG has been adapted, arranged, and completely re-conceptualized to involve elements of jazz, electronica, and more. (jazzloft.com)
Performed with the West Coast ensemble Kneebody, Bleckmann capably rearranges Ives in such a way to provide a proper introduction to this American composing hero. Playing it relatively straight in the beginning with the superb "Songs My Mother Taught Me," Bleckmann captures the sweetness of Ives.
The song is given an interesting baseline of media noise (almost inaudible short-wave radio transmissions) over which it is performed. Kneebody introduces the piece in lullaby fashion, transforming it into a piano/voice art song and finally ending in a percussively insistent way. The effect is as intoxicating as any of Bleckmann's previous releases.
"At The River" is Ives recasting of an old hymn that appears on both presently considered discs. This is the most recognizable song on either disc. Bleckmann introduces the song with his amazing vocal control and uncovers all of the beauty within. This is followed by an industrial electronic treatment of "The Cage," with Bleckmann doubling the melody with tenor saxophonist Ben Wendel. Craggy and dissonant, "The Cage" is one of the most progressive treatments of Ives' songs. "Serenity" is presented as a funeral dirge, slow and plodding with deliberate drums and reeds.
Easily the centerpiece of the recording is the stunning, "In The Morning," where Bleckmann is in his best voice accompanied with simple drumming, electric bass and keyboards. Bleckmann's impressive range is expressed fully in this hymn, an Ives favorite. Kneebody provides an ethereal backdrop to Bleckmann's other-worldly singing. Twelve Songs by Charles Ives goes a long way in validating what we already knew of Bleckmann's talent and what we should appreciate of Ives' compositional genius. (allaboutjazz.com)
