    Meest opvallende aan het nieuwste project van Yuri Honing is de wijze van opname. Producent Floris Klinkert pikte voor hem inspirerende elementen uit het oeuvre van de saxofonist waarover nieuwe solo’s over werden geblazen. Na wederom wat geknip en geplak ging Floris aan de slag met Nederlandse zangers, creëerde een nieuwe basis en het was vervolgens aan Honing om voor de laatste keer saxpartijen aan toe te voegen. Resultaat is een gevarieerde frisse plaat met enkele tracks die zomaar uitgebracht kunnen worden op single.

    De pop ontstaat niet alleen door de vocale inbreng van onder andere Janne Schra (Room Eleven), Sarah Bettens (K’s Choice) en Lilian Vieira (Zuco 103). Ook de sfeer, eenvoudige patronen en voornamelijk de glasheldere productie maken het album bijzonder strak. Met een randje gelukkig. Vuige beats in onder andere ‘Wasted’ (Bettens) en ‘Remember’ (Vieira) komen heerlijk tot uitdrukking. Fijne liedjes met een hoog D.O.X. Records gehalte zoals ‘Headringer’s Ball’ (Leine) zijn vrolijk en ongecompliceerd.

    Honing zelf blijft opvallend op de achtergrond. Een wat kitchy solo’tje of intermezzo hier en daar; soms een dienende rol bij vocalen. Helemaal geen gek gevolg als je kijkt naar het proces van opnames. ‘Phase Five’ is een resultaat van eerdere praktijken van de actieve saxofonist. Waaruit kan worden geconcludeerd dat het idioom en de ideëen van Honing bijzonder redbaar zijn.

    This is a lovely album. While it does little to escape the trademark Scando-new-jazz sound (a sophisticated, minimal austerity), it's all the better for it. A Norwegian duet between vocalist Sidsel Endresen and keyboard player Bugge Wesseltoft, it's a quiet, graceful set, varying from traditional folky songform to abstract avant-jazz.

    During Endresen's earlier tenure at ECM, I saw her perform with the arch English eccentric Django Bates (plus group). That collaboration worked, and so does this one, the third between Wesseltoft and Endresen(on Wesselftoft's label, Jazzland).

    I must admit, I've been previously unimpressed with Bugge Wesseltoft, and particularly his bleedin' "new conception of jazz" (unlike others). Here though, he's the perfect foil for Endresen, conjuring subtle, evocative settings for her spare vocals, playing with real grace throughout. He's witty and sophisticated when supporting the nod to cocktail-bossa on the attractive "Survival Techniques 3"; abstract and funky on "Heartbeat" (no, not that one); intelligently explorative on "Hav"; and simply, humbly supportive on a ravishly stark version of Neil Young's "Birds".

    The centrepiece "Names, Numbers" is wonderfully sinister, thanks to Wesseltoft's freaky distorted stylings, his basslines stalking rather than walking. It sounds almost like a mid-sixties Raymond Scott piece, until Endresen punctures the mood with her aloof poetry. Lyrically, abstract, minimalist dashes of single words and short phrases are the order of the day, perfectly suited to her clear Scandinavian intonation.

    Introspective female singer-songwriters of a certain ilk are usually, lazily, matched up against Joni Mitchell. But there's no mistaking Endresen's similarity to Mitchell on occasion - the similarly fragile yet firm, slightly croaky voice; similarly progressive settings based around jazz and world music.However, Meredith Monk also comes to mind - particularly in the extraordinary post-speech tape-cutups of "Survival Techniques 1+2" and layered vocals of "Voices". Likewise, others who've matched the song with jazz and experimentation (the likes of Robert Wyatt and Annette Peacock, say - even Laurie Anderson).

    Enough comparison - Endresen has her own recognisable musical voice, building an increasingly impressive body of work. "Out Here, In There" is a starker piece than the previous (excellent) Undertow for Jazzland, but still surprisingly varied given the lack of personnel, this constraint only serving to stimulate creativity. Recommended.

    La tour Eiffel (1er plan) et les gratte-ciel de La Défense (arrière-plan) dominent Paris et sa banlieue ouest. Paris (prononcé [ p a ʁ i ] ) est la ville la plus peuplée et la capitale de la France, chef-lieu de la région Île-de-France et unique commune - département du pays. Elle se situe sur une boucle de la Seine, au centre du Bassin parisien, entre les confluents de la Marne et de la Seine en amont, et de l' Oise et de la Seine en aval. Ses habitants s'appellent les Parisiens. La position de Paris à un carrefour entre les itinéraires commerciaux terrestres et fluviaux au coeur d'une riche région agricole en a fait une des principales villes de France au cours du X e siècle, avec des palais royaux, de riches abbayes et une cathédrale ; au cours du XII e siècle, Paris devient un des premiers foyers en Europe pour l'enseignement et les arts. Le pouvoir royal se fixant dans cette ville, son importance économique et politique ne cesse de croître. Ainsi, au début du XIV e siècle, Paris est la ville la plus importante de tout le monde chrétien.
