Reviews
Much more imposing is Luminescence (once again from October 2017 in Berlin!), a very long digital album featuring Hui-Chun Lin (cello) & Shuichi Chino (zither) joining Rupp & Ernesto Rodrigues to form a novel sort of "string quartet." (Lin was most recently mentioned here, also in October, around Buratino, in that case a novel variant "string quintet.") Luminescence is also a very "busy" album, often with a nearly overwhelming level of activity & detail, but also tends to narrow or focus around the cello, which comes to produce quasi-melodic lines that are in turn richly ornamented by the other musicians (as a sort of groove). The ensemble itself is quite distinctive, but the result is sometimes incoherent, or perhaps searches for coherence around a main line.... Todd McComb's Jazz Thoughts
