Our Take

The Gordon Grdina Quartet's latest offering, "Coopers Parkin," is a delightful romp through a whimsical musical landscape. Grdina, a master of the oud, brings his signature blend of Middle Eastern and Western influences to the forefront, creating a sonic tapestry that is as intricate as it is captivating.

The album kicks off with the title track, a jaunty tune that sets the stage for what's to come. Grdina's virtuosic oud playing is front and center, weaving in and out of the tight-knit quartet with ease. The rhythm section, comprised of bassist James Meger and drummer Kenton Loewen, lays down a solid foundation for Grdina's flights of fancy, while saxophonist Chris Kelly adds a touch of color with his dynamic playing.

Standout tracks include the infectiously groovy "Madrugada" and the hauntingly beautiful "The Ancestors." Grdina's compositional skills shine on these tracks, showcasing his ability to blend complex harmonies and rhythms with a melodic sensibility that is truly unique.

Overall, "Coopers Parkin" is a triumph for the Gordon Grdina Quartet. With its infectious energy and boundless creativity, this album is sure to delight fans of jazz and world music alike. So grab a cuppa, sit back, and let the sounds of "Coopers Parkin" transport you to a musical wonderland. Cheers, mate!
