Mark Whitecage:
Split Personality |
Long considered
a musician’s musician, Mark
Whitecage has performed and recorded with a wide range of
artists including Eric Dolphy, Anthony Braxton, Paul
Motian, Jeanne Lee and Dave Douglas, in a career spanning
four decades. His music reflects an approach to jazz
composition and improvisation popular in the vibrant New
York loft scene of the late ’60s
and early ’70s, in which
relatively simple written frameworks allow for extended
improvisation.
This collaborative approach encourages maximum
participation in the creation of the music with the
minimum imposition of the composer’s
will. On this GM release the trio explores the ‘outer limits’
within a more structured tune-based format. They
share a keen sense of dramatic flare, a collective feel
for tension and release in performance, and the common
goal of creating musical experiences that are rich in
contrasting ensemble densities, dynamics, tempi and tone
colors.
