Steve PETERS
The Webster Cycles
COLD BLUE MUSIC
CB 027CD CD digipack 2008
The Webster Cycles, scored for six trombones, is at times lush, at times stark, always engaging. From moment to moment, an individual voice calls out or a crowd murmurs or a few voices unite in contrapuntal or parallel efforts. It blends the abstract with the idiomatic. Pure tones hang serenely in the air as noted trombonist and new-music champion J.A. Deane's lively ornaments and articulations acknowledge his instrument's long association with various types of jazz. 30 mins. (More info...)
“Deane is a soulfully expressive musician and, despite the calm and coolness of Peters's music, his interpretation has immediate emotional appeal as well as seductive depth." —Julian Cowley, The Wire
"A gorgeous, minimal piece ... Solemn and spacious ... Subtle music for late evenings." —Vital Weekly
Peters’ music … has in abundance what I miss in so much new American music: strong commitment to an aesthetic goal, and adherence to that goal without compromise. …Bring on more Steve Peters!” —Sequenza21
“Pure, restrained and rigorously beautiful.” —Alvin Curran
