Melody
There is a timeless quality to Celtic music, says pianist Lynne Arriale. The modal forms provide a wonderful opportunity to address melodies that can stand alone, without a lot of harmonic bells and whistles underneath. I'm also attracted to the heartfelt quality. Arriale has been exploring Celtic music somewhat lately, as is evidenced by Turning, our featured track from her new album. Melody is Arriale's fifth recording with her long-standing trio, and the pianist attributes much of her success to the band's experience. There is nothing that can substitute for time on the road, she says, playing together over and over again in different situations.--- JAZZIZ MagazineCopyright © 2000, Milor Entertainment, Inc.--From Jazziz
