Many Sides of Music – The Jazzy Way

Electronic music is a whole universe, with its cities, landscapes and oceans. This double album catches glimpses of this vastness, jazzy improvisations at the heart of the first album’s tracks, and lingering on soundscapes and atmospheres on the next one, with incursions into ambient progressive, jazz rock, berlin school sequences, abstract minimalism, oriental instrumentations with the Koto and the electronic Udu, even some reggae, and many more. Have a listen to these many sides of Music!

Album released April 27, 2014. Re-orchestrated, remixed and remastered in November, 2017

Many sides of music : The Jazzy Way is lighter take on ambient/electronic that may be perfect for newcomers to the genre, who
will find the variety and sense of movement the perfect way to ease
into the style. With mostly shorter concise pieces, frequent soloing
and instrument variety, it doesn’t have that potentially uneventful
subtlety that more difficult and seasoned electronic works have,
exactly why I feel it would be a great introduction.

For those familiar with the artist, it’s a welcome and refreshing side to Yves,
and fans of the mellow side of ambient/electronic/space music by
artists like Andreas Vollenweider and the Ozrics will really enjoy
this pleasing 50 minute set. I feel everyone should take a break from
more heavy-going progressive music and unwind to something a little
more relaxed once in a while, and this makes for a lovely undemanding
listen. Those who prefer longer, thought-provoking compositions should
perhaps first look towards `The Ambient Way’ companion disc first,
however. But they both only cost a few dollars, so why not take a
chance?
