THE CLAUDIA QUINTET +1
FEATURING KURT ELLING AND THEO BLECKMANN
“What Is the Beautiful?”
(Cuneiform)
The temperaments of the poems of Kenneth Patchen (1911-72) have a wide frequency: they are brave, mystical,
honest, funny, smart, tender-hearted, indignant, earnest, absurd, resistant, interior, out of step.
The drummer, composer and bandleader John Hollenbeck’s music has some of those traits too, and in “What Is
the Beautiful?,” his Claudia Quintet puts a handful of Patchen’s poems to music. Most of the record was
commissioned by the University of Rochester, whose rare-books library is currently showing an exhibition of
Patchen’s graphic art; the poem pieces are broken up by a couple of instrumental ones that aren’t directly
related to Patchen.
Fitting music to verse can be tricky territory: if you literalize a poem with musical gestures, you may be taking
away its mysteries and killing it. But Mr. Hollenbeck’s work generally gives listeners something concrete — an
effect or an event or a process in the music — without becoming condescending or obvious. Here he has paid
sensitive attention to the words and moods of the Patchen poems.
Sometimes that simply means that musicians mimic the words’ rhythm and melody, as happens in “Showtime”
and “Do Me That Love,” or their meaning, as in “Limpidity of Silence,” which is basically a classical-music piece
that indeed involves a lot of limpidity and silence. (A lot of tension too.) But sometimes it means much more.
With the singer Kurt Elling reading some texts, and Theo Bleckmann singing others, Mr. Hollenbeck respects
how the poems begin, modulate and end. As much as possible, he has let the poems write the music for him.
The title track, with the poem excellently read over the music by Mr. Elling, is a good example, probably the
best. The first four stanzas are short and fairly similar in shape, and the strange and slowly accumulating group
sound, with accordion and vibraphone, cymbals and bowed bass, repeats a figure accordingly. Later, longer
stanzas contain arcs of momentum, which the music mimics with rising lines. At the end of every stanza comes
the word “pause,” followed by “and begin again,” which of course likewise happens in the music.
Then drums and piano trickle in, through a series of repeated questions: “Will the shapes of evil fall?/Will the
lives of men grow clean?/Will the power be for good?”
There’s steady rhythm and a few levels of harmonic motion from the different instruments, some repeated and
steady, some wayward. (This is an expanded version of his Claudia Quintet, with the pianist Matt Mitchell as an
extra member.) And the piece as a whole has its own cumulative momentum, its music becoming denser and
broader, coming to a period of wordless collective improvisation in the middle.
For seven minutes, everything logically and constantly grows, until the chilling and unresolved end. It’s a piece
with a lot of improvisation, one that takes a lot of cues from its literary source, but at the same time it’s a
marvel of composition.
There are some less good examples. Mr. Elling is a great singer who sometimes explores his sense of humor a
little too much; he’s the same way as a reader, rendering “Opening the Window” with what sounds like an
exaggeration of Patchen’s own woozy baritone (which you can hear on recordings from the late 1950s). He
abandons the clarity he achieved in the title track; instead he becomes jokey and too knowing. But this comes at
the end of the album, and so much good has been achieved by then that it seems forgivable. BEN RATLIFF!

The Claudia Quintet +1 featuring Kurt Elling and
Theo Bleckmann What Is the Beautiful?
Released 10 October 2011
!
A collaborative jazz/poetry affair that proves to be a
piece of vital, living art.
Daniel Spicer 2011-11-09
In the 1950s, American poet Kenneth Patchen was a pioneer of
poetry with a live jazz accompaniment, performing with Charles
Mingus and others. While some falsely aligned him with the Beats,
Patchen remained an elusive and idiosyncratic artist up to his death
in 1972, producing an eclectic body of work that ranged from
political polemics, to surreal and childlike ‘painted poems’, and
deeply felt love poetry. To mark his 100th birthday in 2011, the University of Rochester
commissioned New York’s Claudia Quintet, led by percussionist John Hollenbeck, to revisit
Patchen’s jazz-plus-poetry experiments, by setting some of his poems to new music. The result is
the group’s most compelling album to date.
Here, as on 2010’s Royal Toast, the group is expanded to a sextet with the addition of pianist
Matt Mitchell – and some arrangements will feel familiar to listeners already hip to Hollenbeck’s
mixture of 20th century minimalism, contemporary classical and rockish post-jazz. But, for this
latest set, the unit is also augmented by two vocalists with contrasting styles, who take the album
into some interesting new territory. Theo Bleckmann, who has previously collaborated with
Hollenbeck’s Large Ensemble, interprets a handful of pieces with a soft, wispy singing voice that
conveys a mournful quality perfectly suited to the dreamy, rippling ballad, The Snow is Deep on
the Ground.
Nonetheless, it’s crooner Kurt Elling who steals the show, inhabiting tracks with a rich, spoken
baritone and an actor’s sense of character and timing that bring Patchen’s words vibrantly to life.
Moreover, there’s a neat conjunction between Elling’s interest in vocalese and Patchen’s
experiments with speech-poetry. On Showtime, for instance, Elling’s louche yet authoritative
announcements are closely matched by tightly scored double-bass and vibes shadowing the
rhythms of speech, before diving into nippy, slightly old-fashioned swing that, while
uncharacteristic of The Claudia Quintet, serves as a welcome tip of the hat to Patchen’s original
milieu.
It all comes together on the title-track: an intensely compassionate piece of writing, bursting with
apocalyptic love for humanity, and punctuated by the repeated refrain: "Pause. And begin again."
Supported by a beautifully understated accompaniment, that lets Elling’s delivery exhale just the
right amount of gravitas, it’s genuinely moving – and easily elevates the album to the status of
vital, living art.

The Claudia Quintet + 1 featuring Kurt Elling and
Theo Bleckmann: What Is the Beautiful? (2011)
By TROY COLLINS, Published: October 5, 2011
Jazz and poetry have a longstanding relationship that precedes the postwar experiments of the Beats,
dating back to the Harlem Renaissance. As with any artistic collaboration, the cooperative efforts of
improvising musicians and poets have yielded mixed results over the years. One of the first artists to
successfully explore this territory (with John Cage and Charles Mingus) was Kenneth Patchen (19111972), a poet, novelist and painter whose innovative work ranges from political protest and sardonic
humor to sentimental romance. In honor of Patchen's 100th birthday the University of Rochester
commissioned forward-thinking composer John Hollenbeck's flagship ensemble, The Claudia Quintet, to
set some of Patchen's prose to music.
Hollenbeck recruited two very different vocalists to articulate Patchen's poems on What Is the Beautiful?.
Theo Bleckmann is one of Hollenbeck's most dependable collaborators, often performing with him in a
variety of contexts—from intimate trios to big bands. His ethereal phrasing and diaphanous tone infuses
a song-like air to one half of the album, with the other hemmed by Kurt Elling. One of today's most
celebrated male vocalists, Elling's rich tenor and dramatic cadences bring a cinematic flair to Patchen's
surreal and emotionally profound narratives.
The vocalists' wildly different readings of the texts are underscored by the leader's elaborate trap set
work, Drew Gress' sinewy bass lines, Matt Moran's luminescent vibes, Ted Reichman's shimmering
accordion and Chris Speed's plangent reed work. The Quintet is further augmented by Matt Mitchell,
whose scintillating pianism further amplifies the group's kaleidoscopic palette. The core ensemble's
remarkable timbral versatility is emphasized on three instrumental numbers commissioned by the
Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival. The contrapuntal workout "Flock" is the most spectacular, a
clangorous display that recalls the ground-breaking work of avant-garde composers like George Antheil
and Harry Partch.
Incorporating vocals is a novel but not entirely new concept for the Quintet; that Bleckmann and Elling
so convincingly assimilate themselves into the veteran unit's sound world is most impressive however.
Bleckmann's impressionistic detours drift gracefully into semi-abstraction, fading into the ether as easily
as Speed's breathy clarinet. Elling's ability to modulate his diction into different personalities is even
more striking, as he demonstrates on the funky "Job," where he performs a virtual duet with himself. On
the poignant closer "Opening the Window" Elling's extended syllables and distorted annunciation
matches the harmonic bends of Gress' elastic fretwork, creating phantasmagoric discourse between form
and content.
Long considered one of the scene's most unclassifiable groups, The Claudia Quintet integrates Patchen's
iconic verse into their oeuvre with an organic grace that brings his words to life. A unique merger of
evocative poetry and avant-garde jazz, What Is the Beautiful? is a sophisticated work of art whose
emotional resonance is as profound as the intricate formal elements that support it.
