Mariano
Instution (Germany) 1987
1C 066 24 0777 1 DMM (LP)
sleeve : NM(IN SHRINK)
media : EX+/EX+(some slightly noise.)
American saxophonist Charlie Mariano, active since the 1950s and known not only for his numerous collaborations but also for his recordings with German and Indian musicians, released this album under his own name in 1987 on the New Age label Instution, featuring Mike Herting and Paul Shigehara. The album spans a wide spectrum, from Mariano’s signature ethnically infused compositions to urban-flavored fusion, and even New Age tracks boldly incorporating electronics. On A4, Mariano’s saxophone and Shigehara’s guitar weave a mysterious soundscape over Herting’s synth work, creating a profound sense of space. B1 elevates rhythms derived from Indian music, a long-standing focus of Mariano’s explorations, while B2 delivers dynamic, rhythmically vibrant sounds evocative of the African continent. This album presents an ambient experience unique among his works.
