Every so often something truly 'spiritual' comes to me to review. And, I don't mean 'Gospel.' I mean a project that will both move your spirit and your artistic sensibilities. Jazz sax-man Ernie Krivda contains this musical power in his playing, and I must say that his delivery of the jazz standard ''More Than You Know'' makes my feeling about him manifest in spades. This is a guy who can ply his talents beautifully because musical ideas come to him spontaneously while he is playing.
Krivda's jazz is created in his mind, felt in his heart and soul, and heard through his fingers. What a gift! The music we hear does not flow as a total result of his studies, rather more from his feelings at the moment in real time. His journeyman experience helps us to understand the elements of musical expression thus developing by default a musical vocabulary of sorts, offering to us his listeners a chance to understand and transcend as it were. I think Ernie has found through his art the explicit language of music for our benefit. We are left emotionally enhanced in our concious minds to the beauty of music in its grand and most powerful exponent... JAZZ!!
