Ran Blake:
Painted Rhythms: The Compleat Ran Blake, Volume 1 |
 The first of two great compact discs
full of the inventive and challenging solo piano stylings
of Ran Blake. Long one of the prime movers of the
Third Stream, Blake has been honored with a prestigious
Mac Arthur Foundation Fellowship in recognition of his
unique and profound artistry.
The two albums comprising Painted
Rhythms: The Compleat Ran Blake follow Blake’s
essential vision through his own compositions as well as
interpretations of musics ranging from the jazz standards
of Duke Ellington and Jerome Kern and of Scott Joplin rags
of Volume 1 to the ancient Sephardic folk tunes
and contemporary Spanish art songs that form the heart of Volume 2.
