about

It may be obvious but without a doubt Music is an abstract thing, and Jazz is one of the most transient genres of this beautiful art form. As Eric Dolphy pointed out,

“When you hear music after it's over, it's gone, in the air. You can never capture it again”.

Each new take of even the same tune can lead to some other new sound world, describing a happening that wasn't even touched upon in the take before. Endless Possibilities.

The four musicians on this recording all live to play music in this way, looking for an internal and external spark to lead somewhere new together. It's a dance that they do, with a collective fire the ultimate goal.

In late 2020 a date was set and a first step as this configuration was documented. A mixture of standards culled over the years from here and there and a few new originals were chosen as good starting points.

With the experience and caliber of music making involved there was always a good chance that something more than worthwhile would happen, and their ears listening afterwards told them that it had. What a time!

Everyone hears music in their own way, but at the very least, Fire Waltz can guarantee you that when you hear this transient, abstract music that they forged together in a moment, that even after it's gone and in the air some part of it will stay with you, warming you on the inside.
