Editorial review
Pianist Greg Burk's explorative music covers a wide range of idioms. Sometimes his out-of-tempo ruminations recall Paul Bley, and he is joined and stimulated by two of Bley's former sidemen, bassist Steve Swallow and drummer Bob Moses. But on the 19-minute "Truth Be Bold," Burk's intense and free playing is closer to that of Cecil Taylor, while some of the briefer selections swing in their own fashion. This program definitely keeps one guessing, for Burk is difficult to easily categorize as anything but a creative jazz musician. His interplay with his sidemen is nearly telepathic at times (they all have big ears) and they consistently shift musical directions and share thoughts together. Listeners who enjoy explorative and passionate jazz improvising will definitely want this outing. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
Featuring the renowned rhythm section team of electric bassist Steve Swallow and drummer/percussionist Bob Moses. The Rome-based pianist/composer's 482 Music debut, and follow-up to his first two well-received recordings as a leader on Italy's legendary Soul Note label, continues his documentation of an increasingly personal sound forged by a penchant for memorable melodies as well as probing improvisation.
"This recording is about discovery," writes Burk in the liner notes. "The intent of the music on Nothing, Knowing, as a whole, is to facilitate a wide range of emotional, sonic and spiritual creativity. As I've discovered on previous recordings, this approach keeps me more open to the realm of discovery, more attuned to the moment. An improviser, I believe, should enjoy the challenge and joy of embracing different contexts for communicating in music.
