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.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eCasimir 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 avant-garde, the Brussels-born pianist and composer crafts a sonic world of pixelated folklore where melody and improvisation coexist in harmony.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eZelda Suites (The Live Album) is the origin story of Liberski's acclaimed Z Suites album.

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.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"We Release Jazz","offers":[{"title":"2LP Limited Edition","offer_id":45892846321708,"sku":"WRJ018LTD","price":285.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0388\/0461\/9308\/files\/casimir-liberski-retrio-zelda-suites-the-live-album.jpg?v=1785558372","url":"https:\/\/whitenoiserecords.org\/products\/casimir-liberski-retrio-zelda-suites-the-live-album","provider":"WHITE NOISE RECORDS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
