Charmingly Softened Freshness

The title track already has its beginning marked by a charmingly softened freshness promoted by the guitar amid its flirtation with the aesthetic-structural landscape of MPB. With the aid of the balanced acute sweetness of the flute and the delicate compass of the drums, the song conquers the viewer by heart and energy. Delicate in its utmost essence, the track, the instant Ralston Van Der Schyff steps in with its full-bodied timbre, ensures an irresistibly romantic experience.

The sound of moving water creates a cozy sense of movement and fluidity.It is incredibly relaxing, to say the least. When percussion is gradually perceived amidst its gentle drumming, the piano fills the atmosphere with its classic and seductive delicacy. With good participation of the violins, Water City manages to numb the listener with its candid beauty and charming resourcefulness.

The piano is, once again, as it was in the previous song, the absolute protagonist of the composition. Delicate and subtle, he shares space with a violin of more active presence and slightly syncopated rhythmic plot in his vulnerable rawness.It is here, in Audrey’s Waltz (Waltz For My Mother), that jazz performs at its best. After all, the battery, takes on the typical compass of the genre and the trombone, in turn, inserts a carefully opaque texture that makes the landscape even more enchanting.

Red Lanterns is an EP that, above all, helps to remember how delicate, seductive and contagious can be a well-executed jazz. By the hands of Ralston Van Der Schyff, although at different levels of perception, the genre is present in each of the three songs that make up the material.Dancing, romantic and beautiful, it is as vibrant as a whole night on the streets of New York.
