ZELDA SUITES (THE LIVE ALBUM) : A MODERN JAZZ REINTERPRETATION OF THE
MUSIC FROM ZELDA, RECORDED LIVE!*
WRWTFWW Records continues its collaboration with Belgian jazzman Casimir
Liberski with another Zelda-themed rendition, following his celebrated Z Suites
album. This time it's a full-on live session – Casimir Libersk ReTRio's Zelda Suites (The
Live Album) is a heroic Hyrule jazz adventure available in half speed mastered DLP in
a heavyweight sleeve with obi.
Casimir Liberski reimagines the golden era of video game soundtracks with live jazz
versions of Zelda favorites The Legend of Zelda (1986), A Link to the Past (1991),
Link's Awakening (1993), and Oscarina of Time (1998) - and tons of Easter eggs!
Dancing between nostalgia and avantgarde, the Brussels-born pianist and composer
crafts a sonic world of pixelated folklore where melody and improvisation coexist in
harmony. Zelda Suites (The Live Album) is the origin story of Liberski's acclaimed Z
Suites album.
He explains:
The live recording of Zelda Suites (The Live Album) preceded the studio recording
that later comprised ReTRio's first album, released on WRWTFWW entitled The Z
Suites. This live recording was captured at the end of a tour in Germany and Belgium,
in Osnabrück, in a small, intimate venue. This new album therefore contains only
"hot first takes," imbued with all the emotion that permeated our playing that
evening. In a way, it's perhaps more closely linked to my initial vision for the project:
to "take the iconic themes from the Legend of Zelda games that shaped my
childhood and perform them live through a jazz lens". For me, the conditions of live
performance are the very essence of jazz. There's a frankness of being present, in the
very moment the music is created and, one might say, listens to itself, that draws the
musicians into a fervor and audacity that often transcends them. The magic of jazz
comes at this price. Unapologetic, as they say in English.
This album reveals a perhaps more authentic and unrestrained side of our playing.
No excuses. Again, long live Hyrule jazz!
