Casimir Liberski Retrio - Zelda Suites 2LP NEW
We Release Jazz Records
We Release Jazz continues its collaboration with Belgian jazzman Casimir Liberski with another Zelda-themed rendition, following his celebrated Z Suites album. This time it's a full-on live session -- Casimir Libersk ReTRio's Zelda Suites (The Live Album) is a heroic Hyrule jazz adventure available in half speed mastered DLP in a heavyweight sleeve with obi. Casimir Liberski reimagines the golden era of video game soundtracks with live jazz versions of Zelda favorites The Legend of Zelda (1986), A Link to the Past (1991), Link's Awakening (1993), and Oscarina of Time (1998) -- and tons of Easter eggs! Dancing between nostalgia and avantgarde, the Brussels-born pianist and composer crafts a sonic world of pixelated folklore where melody and improvisation coexist in harmony. Zelda Suites (The Live Album) is the origin story of Liberski's acclaimed Z Suites album. He explains: "The live recording of Zelda Suites (The Live Album) preceded the studio recording that later comprised ReTRio's first album. This live recording was captured at the end of a tour in Germany and Belgium, in Osnabrück, in a small, intimate venue. This new album therefore contains only 'hot first takes,' imbued with all the emotion that permeated our playing that evening. In a way, it's perhaps more closely linked to my initial vision for the project: to 'take the iconic themes from the Legend of Zelda games that shaped my childhood and perform them live through a jazz lens.' For me, the conditions of live performance are the very essence of jazz. There's a frankness of being present, in the very moment the music is created and, one might say, listens to itself, that draws the musicians into a fervor and audacity that often transcends them. The magic of jazz comes at this price. Unapologetic, as they say in English. This album reveals a perhaps more authentic and unrestrained side of our playing. No excuses. Again, long live Hyrule jazz!"
