Interweave 1986

 

 

When I saw the fantastic new website dedicated to rare dutch material from the golden age of progressive rock:

I was reminded of this great record of acoustic guitar mixed with choral (as in the classical form of music) with the gorgeous medieval cover.  I was surprised to see on rateyourmusic they had made a second album called Expedition so immediately I tried to track it down--  thus, here I present to you the two records from Interweave...

 

Unfortunately the Expedition as you will see is simply jazz piano with bass, drums backing, from a trio that hails from New York.   I see it was on faraone's wishlist but I trust it no longer will be soon.  Please contact me if anyone still does want it.  Their record was recorded in Onoeonta NY with Frank Giasullo as the composer and pianist, in style he reminds me a lot of 70s Keith Jarrett in his gospel moods though without the fiercely incontrollable imaginativeness.  It's the other ST Interweave from Holland that is the masterpiece as you will soon see.  It was recorded in 1985 but put out in 1986, and the american album was recorded in early 1986, so really they're both from the same year but different continents.  This post is dedicated to DPP.

 

 

 

Here's my favourite track from American Interweave, "A Good Question"




And one from netherlandish Interweave:
