Hugo Carvalhais, Nebulosa and Particula

[CraigP]

I've posted reviews of these two Clean Feed CDs from bassist Carvalhais on my blog. On Nebulosa the trio is augmented by Tim Berne and on Particula by soprano saxophonist Emile Parisien and violinist Dominique Pifarely. From my review: "...the core group offers an interesting take on the piano trio. In fact, with the sound they generate, “piano trio” doesn’t really come close to describing their approach. I really like the use of space on both recordings; it generates both tension at various points and a sense that the musicians are letting events unfold naturally, though not languidly."

I am ashamed to confess that I have owned Nebulosa for a while, but it has never made it to the top of my listening pile. Will have to remedy that.
