Kalia Vandever - We Fell in Turn, album review
Beautiful Improvisation
I've just come across the work of Kalia Vandever, enjoying a listen to her latest release Another View today.
Moving on to her 2023 release We Fell in Turn (check out Bandcamp link below this review), I have been warmed by the beautiful tonal layers of her trombone playing, this full of melody and reverberated by echo throughout most: there are subtle and complementary effects. There is also a 'classic' horn clarity at times, as in second track Imagine Being Told which is bold and clear, this too echoed through loops.
Vandever fills a musical space with calm and dreaming for the listener. Here and there you hear her breaths in the refreshing real life of this album.
