Synopsis

Album Description

Nine original jazz compositions--five with Brazilian overtones--performed by an ensemble of guitar, bass, drums, and violin, augmented with viola, Brazilian percussion instruments, and vocals. Throughout the history of jazz there have been notable ensembles with a front line of guitar and violin, such as Eddie Lang and Joe Venuti, Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, John McLaughlin and Jerry Goodman (Mahavishnu Orchestra), and Steve Morse and Mark O'Connor (Dixie Dregs). In his new release Dyad, Ken Hatfield has expanded upon this tradition by composing music which employs contrapuntal compositional devices and Brazilian rhythms such as Baiao, Samba, and Bossa Nova in a jazz context featuring classical guitar and violin.

CD Reviews

"Dyad"- Ken Hatfield's best yet!

05/17/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"With "Dyad", Ken Hatfield has done it again! This enchanting set pairs Ken's luminous acoustic guitars with Valentin Gregor's quicksilver violin for a listening experience that defies category. Blending lyricism and melodic beauty with rhythmic nimbleness, Ken's compositions are, as always, unique. The stellar duo of bassist Hans Glawischnig and drummer Duduka de Fonseca complete an ensemble that sounds like no other. Buy, listen, enjoy, luxuriate, dig!"

"You know how great it is when you discover a wonderful book, or a movie that no one told you about in advance, so you have no preconceived ideas to get between you and the book or movie? Well, that's what discovering Ken Hatfield's music is like. His new cd DYAD is my new favorite (as was his last cd, EXPLORATIONS FOR SOLO GUITAR last year). The playing is great, so is the band, and the compositions are better still! Highly recommended."
