Editorial review
German Hammond B-3 innovator Barbara Dennerlein not only doesn't sound like Jimmy Smith on In a Silent Mood, it is really doubtful that these tracks could even be called jazz. A tranquil suite to the power of the inner life, In a Silent Mood is made up of carefully composed segments that stand individually on their own, but taken together, form a complete whole. Using only her B-3 here (and the occasional piano), and outfitted with foot pedals that trip her MIDI synthesizer settings, Dennerlein has assembled a beautiful album that glides and reaches into the rare, thin atmosphere of dreams. As much as Smith defined the possibilities of the B-3 at the end of the 20th century, Dennerlein is beginning to define it for the 21st. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
A musical voyage of self-discovery
Barbara Dennerlein allowed herself sufficient time to give musical expression to her innermost thoughts and aspirations and to capture these on this strikingly original and very personal CD.
“In a Silent Mood” provides a revealing insight into her musical personality, as she energetically celebrates the free flow musical ideas which mirror her remarkable career as a brilliant exponent of the organ, ideas which will certainly find an echo among her listeners. Thus her music becomes our music as well.
There are no overworked standards, no bravura Jimmy Smith-style flag-wavers, no extravagant displays of virtuosity. Instead we are treated to the inspired creativity of her own, well-crafted compositions, a colourful tapestry of melodies, suspenseful mood changes and moments of peace and tranquillity.
Barbara Dennerlein’s playing reflects her own musical development.
↓ more ↓At home, in her own studio, in a most secluded atmosphere, free from pressure and outside interference, she allows her creativity full rein. And all the time she brings out the full sound of her unique, modified Hammond B3 organ, with its rich tonal colours and surging foot-pedal bass lines.
“In a Silent Mood” is the precious product of an extremely creative mind, put together with excellent taste and finesse and making effective use of multifarious musical shades. It is the handwriting of a mature artist.
"Again and again my audience has been asking for a recording with purely
ballads and at the same time people have been waiting for a new Solo CD. It
was a big challenge to unite both and I spent as much time as possible to
record music in a silent mood with a lot of space for breathing and rests to
create tension and at the same time quietness. My intension was to record a
very direct und pure organ sound and create a feeling of sitting inside of my
Hammond B3 and the leslie, simultaneously featuring my very special
footpedal technique." (Barbara Dennerlein)
