The Gryphon Trio IN HARMONY The Gryphon Trio has been playing together for 13 years, and even speaking to them individually by phone, the close connections of this chamber ensemble are evident. Their stories interlace like musical phrases, and they constantly reference one another for elaboration, like passing a motive from part to part. Annalee Patipatanakoon, violin, Roman Borys, cello, and Jamie Parker, piano, all speak of the group and their professional and personal lives in a way that suggests the same musical harmony they project on stage.

CLAIRE MARIE BLAUSTEIN The trio began as just two, when Patipatanakoon and Borys met at the Banff Center as teenagers, and both ended up at the world renowned Indiana University School of Music. While there, they joined a pianist and studied with Beaux Arts Trio founder Menahem Pressler. After several years with this developmental ensemble, they called upon pianist Jamie Parker to fill in for several concerts, and according to Patipatanakoon, “everything just went from there.” PHOTO BY DONALD LEE

where they perform alongside Latin artists like Hilario Duran and Roberto Occhipinti, to the many commissioned works the group plays. But Borys emphasized that the realization of their collaborations and desire to play for new groups of people doesn’t end with the artists involved. “We wouldn’t be able to do those programs without support – reaching new audiences, in a sense, is a collective priority developed alongside Music TORONTO.”

Besides active performing schedules, all three are also faculty members at the University of Toronto Faculty of Music. When school is out for the summer, their attention shifts from university work to summer festivals.

Festivals are an important part of any developing artist’s career. All three members of the trio attended the Banff Centre and had high praise for its influence on their lives. Parker spent 10 summers there through his high school and university years, studying with Marek Jablonski. “Banff was a great constant in my life, during my formative years. I’d spend any- where from 2 to 5 weeks there every summer. It’s a very special place …you go to this very beautiful, spiritually powerful (from a nature point of view) place. You toss in all sorts of intensely artistic, creative person- alities, and you just sort of stir the pot and all sorts of magic happens.”

At Banff, as well as the hundreds of other festivals across North America, part of the magic comes from mundane aspects – that most festivals PHOTO BY DONALD LEE occur in concentrated periods, when students can focus exclusively on their playing. The times spent can be incredibly intense, but also offer a Chamber Music Festival, the trio will be part of the faculty at the newly chance for students to be around their peers. formed Toronto Summer Music Academy directed by Agnes Grossman. “She wants to create an environment which will serve the students’ many In the process, more can develop than just greater performing skills. “I needs, establish a high standard, and focus the participants on achiev- met my wife at the Ottawa International Chamber Music Festival,” Parker ing that high standard.” Borys says. “We’re very enthusiastic about what laughed. “She had worked for the festival, and we ended up just hanging might happen.” out after concerts – ordering an extra pitcher or two at the bar.

Matt Darriau Paradox Trio with Theodosii Spassov: Gambit Enja ENJ-9474 2 ★★★✩✩✩

Since the mid-80’s, saxophonist/clar- inetist Matt Darriau has pursued an interest in Eastern European music, most notably with the Paradox Trio (actually a quartet comprised of gui- tarist Brad Shepik, cellist Rufus Cappadocia and percussionist Seido Salifoski). So it should come as no sur- prise that the Bulgarian-born kaval player Theodosii Spassov would join this band for its debut on the German Enja label. The opening “Theo’s Gambit”, for one, is a rousing piece that would- n’t be out of place at a Bulgarian wedding, where the leader con- tributes an exciting alto solo, too. Many of the compositions bear a resemblance to Dave Douglas’ balkanic themes (Shepik played in Douglas’ Tiny Bell Trio), or John Zorn’s Masada pieces. Spassov’s flute-like instrument offers a nice sonic contrast to the band’s rhythmic vitality. Cappadocia moves effortlessly between an accompanist’s role and a plaintive, violin-like lead, while Salifoski is excellent on dumbek. Even if this attempted symbio- sis between jazz and “world music” may not be fully realized, it’s till a lot of fun to listen to. FH

Pete McCann: Most Folks Omnitone 15213 ★★★✩✩✩

While it may be true, as the adage goes, that guitarists are a dime a dozen, gui- tarists with individual voices are a rela- tive rarity. Such a guitarist is Wisconsin- born, New York-based Pete McCann. With saxophonist John O’Gallagher and the rhythm trio of John Hebert on bass, Mark Ferber on drums and Mike Holober on piano, McCann spins out imaginative, fresh lines and chordal passages. Despite the two chordal instruments on this session, this is surprisingly lightly-textured music. Never do the pianist and guitarist get in each other’s way, a feat achieved main- ly because the piano plays lines rather than chords.The drummer’s spry playing and the impassioned alto and soprano sax state- ments also help lift the session on material that winds its way through a series of stylistic twists and turns, including a post- boppish sounding title track. McCann’s expressiveness encom- passes both a light lyrical touch ( “Jojo’s Waltz”,“Hunter Gatherer,” and “Worth”) as well as a driving edge (“Rack’Em Up” and “Split Decision”), with some precise nylon string playing added in “Las Tias”and “Third Wheel.”Though very much in the mainstream tra- dition, there are enough original touches here to signal the pres- ence of an electric guitarist with a distinctive voice.
