With Absinthe, his second release for ECM, guitarist Dominic Miller has created an album colored by a distinct atmosphere. “The first thing that came to me before I wrote any tunes was the title,” he says. “Living in the South of France, I am fascinated by Impressionism. Sharp light and witchy mistrals, combined with strong alcohol and intense hangovers must have driven some of these artists toward insanity. Skies that are green, faces blue, perspective distorted.” 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.”

Nostalgioso tema...amaneciendo en Buenos Aires ,domingo 6.38 AM. Bello !!!
I absolutely love this! Quiet, then silence, then comes the bandoneon and it rocks in its own way.
This is what I miss during this pandemic.......collaboration!
That pause and the silence between two notes make the whole difference. Heavenly!

Piazzolla ❤
Jam seems to be really cool ...ure welcome in France!
All Mike Lindup had to do was introduce a subtle spacey ambient and the whole song turned otherworldly. Great work, Mr. Miller!
Maravilloso.
That is great music. Intro with percussion mix- back or forth.
SUPERBE!!!!!!!!
Very nice vibe . . . . .awesome work
exquisite. it really does evoke late 19th century paris . . . among many other things.
gorgeous
Magique Paris Paris je vous aime ❤ Merci
Looking forward to tomorrow. This piece says so much in the details of each note played. I Keep on listening over and over... thanks for creating this beautiful, fleeting but unforgettable touching moment of music!

Nice. Good for Katché.

Beautiful! Such a wonderful group of musicians (I've been fortunate enough to see most of this line-up in different bands). I'm sooo late to this particular collection, but now I'm here, going to take time to appreciate the music. Many thanks.
abroad any mainstream and yet wonderful convincing and logical. I love it.
the best !! Mi sueño poder tocar con él.
Nice !!
Genious!!
@DominicMiller, gracias por mantener tonos argentinos aunque te has formado fuera, es muy valioso ése sonido argento
Oh wow, when the drums started i immediately recognized the snare tone was similar to a Pino Daniele album in which Katché played. What a nice surprise.
sick vibe..

Завораживающее начало,которое уносит тебя,от суеты этого мира.

Check out Sting and Dominic's interview they just did with Rick Beato on his channel.
... incomprehensible why Dominic is still "unknown" to the public - he's a musicians' musician ... (Sting & many others ...) ! Not a bad thing - but soooo much to be discovered ...
I come back to this music again to cure me.
A long melancholic anticipation, a soothing shift, melancholy revisited, pain ridden feeling groovy, a short breather, back into the swamp. And all the while, the light peeking as illusive as ever, at the end of that tunnel. I love your soul Mr. Miller.
Nice Bass :)
hay mucha presencia de la bateria, por lo demas esta genial
Extra, Extra ordinary
Screw melody. Lets rock. Love it.
…brilliant…
Bello tango raro... saludos argentinos
I wouldn't probably be playing classical guitar if I never heard his fantastic playing on Khadja Nin's "Kembo".
