Melinda Sullivan - “While spending the afternoon in the studio with Dr. Steve Gadd, we truly found a rhythmic synergy. Steve and I met that same day, thanks to Larry, and introduced ourselves through playing together. It was magical. What you hear on Do You Like, as well as two other tracks on the album Twins and Dyad, are single-takes. There was very little talking, just us listening and responding. Steve saw the drummer in me and I saw the tap dancer in him. 10/10 joy for me that day.”

Awọn awọn LP

Larry Goldings, awọn Grammy-nominated pianist and composer ati awọn tap dancer extraordinaire Melinda Sullivan ti wa ni o dara julọ lati fi Big Foot, ọna ti o dara julọ, ọkan ninu awọn ọna ti o dara julọ lori Colorfield Records.

When Goldings and Sullivan met shortly before the COVID pandemic, they had no way of knowing just how impactful it would become for both of them. By 2021, they had begun meeting in Goldings’ backyard to play together and posting videos of their jam sessions to social media. The project was immediately recognized by musicians and journalists who saw in the connection of tap dance and jazz, a deep legacy stretching back over 100 years.

It was inevitable that the duo would eventually take the project off the socials and into the studio. From the beginning, they knew that they would need to develop a specific sonic language for the recording. This led them to engineer-producer Pete Min, a man committed to making artful records that explore the space between improvisation and composition, chaos and control, intention and discovery.

Ati ọkan ninu awọn iṣoro ti awọn akojọ pẹlu awọn aṣiṣe ti o ṣe, Goldings ati Sullivan gba, jẹ pe awọn music yẹ ki o wa lati wa ni owo - bi awọn music - laisi awọn ilana ti bi o ti wa ni ṣe. Big Foot tẹsiwaju iṣeduro laarin ṣiṣe awọn gbigbe musically gbigbe laisi awọn gbigbe awọn iṣeduro iṣeduro, ṣiṣe Sullivan gẹgẹ bi a percussive dancer. “My main thing,” o npe ni Goldings, “bi ti mo ti fẹ awọn eniyan lati wo ohun ti Melinda n ṣe.”  

During the recording sessions, Goldings immersed himself in analog synthesis and employed a catalog of keyboards that would make any electronic enthusiast envious. Sullivan dances in socks, sand and sneakers for the majority of the album, allowing her rhythmic nuance to come forward. The toe, heel, slide, and taps that she coaxes are complex, sometimes evoking brushes on a snare drum, other times tablas or frame drums, and still other times the sound of an analog drum machine or beat box.

Other contributors to the record include Sam Gendel on saxophone and effects, CJ Camerieri on trumpet and flugelhorn, Daphne Chen on violin and viola, and bassist Karl McComas-Reichl. Each of them brings their personal sound to an already unusual party. And Goldings’ daughter Anna sings a particularly haunting melody on “Do You Like,'' a song that opens with the voice of another luminary, drummer Steve Gadd. It is Gadd’s voice asking the question “Do you like…?” before he begins to tap out a gently grooving pattern with his hands on a box.

Awọn ọpọlọpọ awọn iwe-aṣẹ lori Big Foot gbigbe awọn fọto fọto, ni apakan nitori awọn oniwe-gbigbe agbekale agbekale. Awọn wọnyi bẹrẹ, awọn wọnyi mu, awọn wọnyi bẹrẹ nibẹ ni eyikeyi ti ko tẹsiwaju. Larry gbọdọ pe, "Awọn awọn aworan fọto jẹ afikun si yi music. Ki o si jẹ Björk, ati Joe Zawinul."  

Ati eyikeyi awọn ajo ati awọn ifilelẹ ti o le ti wa ni, o kan tọ Big Foot ti o jẹ music ti o dara julọ ti o rọrun lati ṣẹda ṣugbọn o rọrun lati gbiyanju.
