{"product_id":"602577064241","title":"Dominic Miller: Absinthe (Vinyl LP)","description":"Vinyl LP pressing. 2019 release. With Absinthe, his second release for ECM, guitarist Dominic Miller has created an album colored by a distinct atmosphere. While Miller's ECM debut, Silent Light, emphasized intimacy in solo and duo settings, Absinthe finds the guitarist fronting a quintet that brings his ever-lyrical compositions to textured life. Miller, switching between nylon- and steel-string acoustic guitars, has a key harmonic-melodic foil in the bandoneon of Santiago Arias. The vivid presence at the drum kit is Manu Katché, an ECM veteran and for years a colleague with Miller in the band of Sting (whom the guitarist has accompanied now for three decades). Mike Lindup s keyboard tones add a ghostly air to such highlights as the title track, while bassist Nicholas Fiszman roots the sound. As for Miller, JazzTimes described him as a guitarist who milks every note, thriving on the pauses between them and whispery effects of fingers sliding across strings, while Stereophile agreed, declaring that his ability to express emotion through a guitar is amazing to hear.
