Reviews ~~~~~~~ By John Fordham http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2011/may/26/sylvie-courvoisier-mark-feldman-quartet-review This album follows up last year's To Fly to Steal, on which Swiss pianist Courvoisier and her former Nashville violinist husband, Feldman, explored a delicate soundworld between free improv and contemporary classical music with the American bass-and-drums pairing of Thomas Morgan and Gerry Hemingway. It was a testament to the empathy of the two leaders, but this compelling session shows how far their new partnership with Morgan and Hemingway (a former Anthony Braxton percussionist) has come. It's full of an ethereal, non‑referential lyricism of the players' own – an affirmation of the power of pattern and audibly evolving relationships, even if very little of it resembles songs – save for Feldman's occasional offhand jazz quotes, like Goodbye Pork Pie Hat which is slipped into a drifting abstract passage. The title track is built around a shifting six‑note violin motif, sometimes resolved by delicate high‑end piano figures, sometimes by rushes of notes. Drum-like piano taps against busy bass counterpoint turn into horror‑movie crescendos; slack-string sounds or interior-piano clangs and tappings show how musical free improv can be, and there's even some coolly jazzy, brushes-driven swing. It's not exactly party music, but it's contemporary spontaneous playing of the most authoritative quality. -- By Nic Jones http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=39643 By Glenn Astarita http://www.jazzreview.com/index.php/reviews/latest-cd-reviews/item/27696-hotel-du-nord-by-sylvie-courvoisier-mark-feldman-quartet By Marek Lubner (pl) http://jazzarium.pl/przeczytaj/recenzje/hotel-du-nord Stefan Pieper (de) http://www.jazzthetik.de/index.php/archiv/19-tonspuren/538-tonspuren-september-oktober-2011 Par Luc Bouquet (fr) http://grisli.canalblog.com/archives/2012/01/13/23232862.html Por Pachi Tapiz (es) http://www.tomajazz.com/web/?p=2510
