Before the
iPhone tab "Voice Memos", if a composer had an idea sitting at the
airport, what would you do?
If necessary,
call your answering machine, says Norah Jones, celebrate the release of its
impressive new album, Day Pause (Blue Note), in a complete total emission at Binary
Hall on Wednesday (October 19).
In a
telephone interview from New York, Jones said he heard about this thing a few
years ago by another composer. Fortunately for us, when I was in a dressing
room in Berlin five years ago, she had her iPhone and registered practical germ
and then you were, go find a song that recalled the deceptively simple,
seductive cadence of his early work.
This echo,
and the fact that Jones plays piano over again, so that "breaks the
day" was hailed by critics as a Back jazz- folk style country of Come Away
with Me, which made famous before 2002.But "breaks the day" is much
more than that. Is a diverse album that reflects his mastery of the rock,
Americana, country, jazz and electronic music slot?
I'm influenced
by In a Silent Way, Jones says, referring to the jazz-rock fusion record
mercurial 1969 Miles Davis. That's kind of jazz album I thought, not
necessarily nostalgic jazz.
Jones also
said he wanted to play with drummer Brian Blade and saxophonist Wayne Shorter
again, who joined two years Ago when he sang at the Kennedy Center, as part of
a 75th birthday party for the Blue Note label.
"This
was the starting point," she said. "But (the songs) ended up being
everywhere stylistically." One of the best is a sad rock slow-dance 'n'
roll history ballad "tragedy" that begins with the repetition of the
grim Jones same line - "It is a tar-GED-y" - four times.
"Once
you start a song with a specific letter, which is very difficult to get out of
this letter," Jones says, laughing. But it was such a loaded word did not
know then write! So I said (written collaborator) Sarah Ode, I have finish that
song. She absorbs everything and came back with this story.
Jones also
collaborated with Ode in "Burn", a theme that burns with a nourish
story and soprano saxophone solo Shorter. I make this rhythm thing I was trying
to think for the first album, says Jones. "Day Break" ends with
another shorter obsessively cover features Duke Ellington's "African Flower."
"I had
listened to a ton," says Jones. "I was trying to figure out what to
play (the piano) but with Wayne I decided I work. It is a beautiful melody.
"
If you have
followed the career of Jones, you know that his two previous albums were fairly
dark, full of pain and even rupture malignant anger ("Miriam" 2012
"Little Broken Hearts" is a dozy ). This has cast much happier, but
Jones It also stresses "full of conflicts."
I am in good
personal space, but the world is falling apart, she says, Sounds as it might be
time to get this new iPhone.
