“Overall, this music remains indescribable and defies categorisation,” their review reads. Berklee Today once called him “the multi-dimensional composer.” That’s oversimplifying language for a concert stage classical composer and jazz-rock keyboard master who for decades now has created orchestral, chamber, vocal and solo works commissioned, performed or recorded by world-renowned artists such as guitarist John Williams, opera star Angelika Kirchschlager, conductor Dennis Russell-Davies, the Vienna Symphony Chamber Orchestra, the London Philharmonic Orchestra and others.
Brazilian-American artist Miguel Kertsman is out with the album "Paradoxes", and this is an album that resides safely and solidly inside of the progressive rock universe and tradition. In this case with a bit of a retro-oriented but also varied and expressive style being explored. Major cues come from the big names of the 1970s, and to my ears at least Camel, Genesis and Pink Floyd are possibly the most likely sources of inspiration here, and presumably with a little bit of Yes and arguably a touch of Gentle Giant brought into play here too. But this mostly instrumental production comes with a few additional side steps along the way. Wandering piano movements with more of a defined classical music expression is a recurring feature, and atmospheric laden, synthesizer and keyboard dominated passages that wouldn't have been out of place on an Isao Tomita album appear at regular intervals too. With a little bit of a flirt with jazz-rock appearing on occasion. Hence there is plenty of variation at hand here, and everything is explored with a sound and production that adds a vintage sounding quality to the landscapes explored. An album to seek out if you love 70's progressive rock in general, have a bit of a fancy with the more approachable symphonic varieties of the form in particular, you enjoy bands being creative and expressive with that form and who find that instrumental compositions are generally interesting and intriguing.
