\"\"<\/a>Kartet plays a music that opens doors to the trance states where clarity and mists commingle. Silky Way<\/em> is Kartet\u2019s seventh CD since its 1991 formation, the tight core from day one being French musicians Guillaume Orti (alto and soprano saxophones), Benoit Delbecq (piano), and Hubert Dupont (bass). In this iteration Samuel Ber of Belgium takes the drum chair.

\u201cLe Costume\u201d by Delbecq is all subdued colors, tender sentimentality at the piano\u2019s lower registers and a long pizzicato bass solo that rides over the melody. The compositon is characteristic of Kartet\u2019s collective imagination, instruments playing highly differentiated lines that suddenly amalgamate into synchronicity, typically when Orti enters with his delicate, elegant, and precise sound.

Dupont\u2019s \u201cCouche Tard\u201d (Sleep Late) plays like waking up without the artifice of an alarm clock. Interspersed with cymbal zings and gentle taps on the tubs, the long tone melody from alto saxophone and arco bass become surrogates for the fuzzy period of the mind\u2019s conscious awakening. Palpable moments of silence act as markers for the gentle acceleration into a percussion parade that completes the wake-up cycle.

Orti\u2019s \u201cGarden of Five Roses\u201d opens with tongue slaps and a tricky danceable rhythm. Then presto changeo, it shifts tempo into a variation on Steve Lacy\u2019s \u201cI Feel a Draft\u201d from his Itinerary album. The CD title, Silky Way<\/em> is a good one. The compositional structures always are strict allowing Kartet to play with agility and authority not so different than silk, the shimmeringly subtle material which balances tremendous structural integrity with elasticity and ethereal beauty.

Personnel: Beno\u00eet Delbecq, piano; Guillaume Orti, alto & soprano saxophones; Hubert Dupont, bass; Samuel Ber, drums.
