MARCO ULLSTEIN QUINTET: Detached Views (Emme Records)![]() Detached View is a mature album of German-Italian vibraphonist/ percussionist Marco Ullstein, presently studying at Amsterdam Conservatory. On first listening it reminds of Gary Burton’s famous quintet of the early 70s with Pat Metheny and Peter Erskine but soon you realize the saxophone as extra accent next to the electric guitar. You get the vibraphone here as leading instrument in its full range flowing into and out of the wonderful layered weavings of the group with Emiliano Roca (g), Pietro Mirabassi (sax), Arjun Amdas (b), and Francesco V. Parsi (dr). The sophisticatedly balanced music is a sheer pleasure for lovers of that instrument with its magics and can for sure charm a lot new listening ears. Together with harp the vibraphone is clearly in the lift in the recent past - with the group of Patricia Brennan and Carlos Bica’s 11:11 group as outstanding examples (see my chart choices of September 2024 and December 2024). Ullstein just won the International KEEP AN EYE Award - an award for outstanding young musicians from five participating schools in Barcelona (Escola Superior de Musica de Catalunya), Trondheim (Jazz Performance Programme NTNU), Boston (Berklee College of Music), New York (Manhattan School of Music), and Amsterdam (Conservatorium van Amsterdam) - with his new group CALIMA from Amsterdam comprising Miguel Valente (sax), Jules Charbonnier (p), Ton Felices (b), and Ludvig Holde Søndergaard (dr). from www.europejazz.net |
