The first, <em>Atlas<\/em>, had received excellent international reviews, rightly so. It is an album of remarkable coherence and exemplary execution quality. <em>Daybreak <\/em>proves that it wasn&#8217;t a stroke of luck. Greenwood is a top performer, and also an inspired composer. He grew up in Zimbabwe (and played with Oliver Mtukudzi) and went on to study, among other places, at Berklee College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Little technical showmanship in the program consisting of nine pieces, eight of which are original compositions (the other is a stunning, ultra-refined version of Claude Debussy&#8217;s The Blessed Damozel). On the contrary, an attention to delicate details and a precise focus on the quality of the textures, beautifully deployed. Greenwood constructs a journey of great expressive cohesion, mostly thoughtful, studious, with a few more brisk but never unnerving escapades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"La Damoiselle \u00e9lue - Drawing Timelapse\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/C5gV13bAOmk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">There is something of Metheny in Greenwood&#8217;s playing, or even Nordic jazz. You feel transported to vast spaces without losing a strong sense of intimacy with the emotions being portrayed. His friends share the same line of thought. Gentleness, finesse, restraint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The minimalist arpeggios of Mike Downes with the bow of his double bass in <em>Strength to Spare<\/em> are simply exquisite. And the infinitesimal chromatic interplay of the multi-tracked guitar in<em> La demoiselle \u00e9lue <\/em>is stunning. Or, what about the almost telepathic symbiotic exchanges between guitar and drums in <em>Paper Planes<\/em>? The Zimbabwean percussionist Othnell &#8216;Mangoma&#8217; Moyo brings refreshing textures to <em>1000 Paper Cranes<\/em> and <em>Guide My Hand.<\/em> These are just a few examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Daybreak <\/em>is not only a very high-quality album, but it is also an album that does a lot of good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Matt Greenwood &#8211; Guitar, composition<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Mike Downes &#8211; Double bass<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Mark Kelso &#8211; Drums<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Othnell \u2018Mangoma\u2019 Moyo \u2013 Percussion (4 and 9)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 400px; height: 439px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=816009928\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless><a href=\"https:\/\/mattgreenwood.bandcamp.com\/album\/daybreak\">Daybreak de Matt Greenwood<\/a><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daybreak is the second studio album by Boston-based guitarist Matt Greenwood.
