About the album

The compositions of master guitarist John Stowell have taken on a life of their own over the last several years. As fellow artists have become increasingly aware of their intriguing melodic & harmonic movements through recordings with the group Scenes, or from his solo guitar renditions, novel methods for interpreting his works have become an inspired exercise. The 2020 duo release, Rain Painting with bassist/vocalist Dan Dean, set the stage with Textura describing it as "... innovative, original, and musically rewarding." For Violin Memory, trombonist Dave Glenn recalled his many duo performances with Stowell as being like chamber music, inspiring him to arrange nine Stowell originals for string quartet—the themes stated by the quartet as springboards for the duo's renditions. Besides those, Glenn offers 3 of his compositions and a mid-program medley of Stowell tunes arranged for the quartet. “The skillful ingenuity of Dave Glenn’s jazz writing makes an easy transition into his elegant string quartet writing." - composer John David Earnest
Die Kompositionen des Meistergitarristen John Stowell haben in den letzten Jahren ein Eigenleben entwickelt. Da andere Künstler durch Aufnahmen mit der Gruppe Scenes oder durch seine Solo-Gitarren-Interpretationen zunehmend auf die faszinierenden melodischen und harmonischen Bewegungen aufmerksam geworden sind, wurden neue Methoden zur Interpretation seiner Werke zu einer inspirierenden Übung. Die 2020 erschienene Duo-Veröffentlichung Rain Painting mit dem Bassisten/Sänger Dan Dean wurde von Textura als "... innovativ, originell und musikalisch lohnend" beschrieben. Für Violin Memory erinnerte sich der Posaunist Dave Glenn an seine vielen Duo-Auftritte mit Stowell, die er als kammermusikalisch empfand, was ihn dazu inspirierte, neun Stowell-Originale für Streichquartett zu arrangieren - die Themen, die das Quartett vorgab, dienten als Sprungbrett für die Interpretationen des Duos. Außerdem bietet Glenn drei seiner Kompositionen und ein Medley von Stowell-Melodien, die für das Quartett arrangiert wurden, in der Mitte des Programms. "Der gekonnte Einfallsreichtum von Dave Glenns Jazzkompositionen bildet einen leichten Übergang zu seinen eleganten Streichquartettkompositionen". - Komponist John David Earnest
