Hayden Chisholm and Philip Zoubek

Next week, saxophonist Hayden Chisholm and pianist Philip Zoubek will be releasing As If the Stormy Years had Passed – The Music of Gurdjieff Reimagined on the New Zealand label Rattle Music. The music is an exploration of the compositions of the George Ivanovich Gurdjieff, "philosopher, mystic, spiritual teacher, composer, and movements teacher." 

From the materials about the release:

"Over many years, the two musicians have explored Gurdjieff’s melodies to their harmonic and formal limits – and often beyond – until new versions emerged. Zoubek conjures resonances from inside the piano that seem at once mechanical and ghostly, while Chisholm glides through this labyrinth with his unmistakable tone. The result is not an interpretation but a metamorphosis: Gurdjieff’s music appears not as repetition, but as myth in a new language."

Here is a video that presents the gentle, flowing music - one may be tempted to think ECM-ish - seems perfect for a Sunday morning...
