Troot - Constance And The Waiting, 2018, 🇺🇲
Troot is a project led by Seattle-based pianist Tim Root. Next to Tim we find Julie Slick and Alessandro Inolti, Marco Machera, Steve Ball, Beth Fleenor , Amy Denio, Nora Germain, Alex Anthony Faide and Bill Horist.
What we have here is an album of 6 compositions of exciting electric and eclectic chamber prog. The music is almost constantly on brilliant rhythms, even clownish at times, but without ever losing sight of the cleanliness of the sounds, without too many distortions. The solo moments are not very many, preferring a full orchestration of the instruments, with beautiful virtuosity. Everyone is obviously guided by the piano which, however, does not have a clearly predominant role. The moods are very varied, and the music moves from intense and solemn moments, with dramatic tones, to lighter digressions, but following logical consequential threads even when the music seems to make sudden jumps from one situation to another.
A sharp and heavy guitar, sharp and tight rhythm section, chamber-flavored clarinet and a saxophone that screams, and in all of this a fine and neat piano by leader Tim who adds a classical feel to all of this. It has a stylish sound with a refined elegance while being high-tensioned. While showing off avant-garde parts reminiscent of modern and contemporary classical music, dramatic song development is also noteworthy. It is a high-level masterpiece that attracts listeners with its elaborate and dynamistic performances. #troot#trootband#prog#progrock#progressiverockmusic#progressiverock#progressiverockcommunity#progrockforever#progrockmusic#progrockcommunity#albumreview#albumreviews#progreviews#avantprog#rio#eclecticprog#progband#progrockplanet#progrockworld#progrockvinyl
