	The Uri Caine Ensemble - Gustav Mahler In Toblach
		The Uri Caine Ensemble - Gustav Mahler In Toblach
		Throughout the two-CD set, the group twists and turns with po-mo abandon, highlighting freebop alto saxophone solos (from David Binney), that succeed the original melodies; and the always inventive violinist Mark Feldman, who is able to move from the most "legitimate" of classical tone to pseudo-fusion fiddling with a simple arc of his bow.
		Elsewhere on record and live performance, Caine has stuck to the post-bop piano repertoire and is probably leery of being labelled as "that jazz/classical guy." But he is also planning to record his version of Bach's "The Goldberg Variations", the performance of which has made a name for many keyboardists, most notably Glenn Gould.

		URI CAINE: Well, I think it he was risking alienation and still he was going further and further in his explorations and you get a really strong feeling of somebody with a spiritual path and trying to find release through music.
		URI CAINE: Of course, I think it's a, whether or not, when you say that word, instrument, it's of the same type of instrument as a violin or whatever, it maybe it maybe not, but the point is, the effect that I liked that it produces is dislocation.
		URI CAINE: Initially, again, I think there were certain promoters that were saying that it was too many people and it's too weird, but we have been playing it a lot, especially in Europe for the past two years.

	A Man of Ideas Searches for Musical Metaphors
		Caine used the piece as a jumping-off point, interspersing his own concoctions for horns, strings, a DJ and a choir with some of the original Bach variations.
		Caine moved to New York in the late 80's, he concentrated on jazz, as is apparent on his mid-90's recordings "Sphere Music" and "Toys," dedicated to Thelonious Monk and Herbie Hancock respectively.
		Caine's Variations, one of the Coro Easo singers came over to me with a bottle of beer in hand, and asked, "We got it right, the drinking song, didn't we?" His anxiety about the performance, however, was entirely beside the point.

	Strings of Autumn
		Uri Caine has in him the surrealistic spark of Frank Zappa, but rather than having roots in rock he is more linked to classical European-style training.
		Uri Caine's experimental arrangements of pieces by composers like Bach, Beethoven, and Mahler are just as reverent as they are bold, and for this reason he has won admirers on both sides of the audience spectrum: among jazz fans and in the ranks of otherwise intractable opponents of 'crossover'.
		Uri Caine is coming to the Strings of Autumn Festival with an ensemble that includes besides instrumentalists a gospel singer and a disc jockey, and will present here a 'remix' of a revered work from music history: the Goldberg Variations by Johann Sebastian Bach.

		Caine is also inserting his own variations in a kaleidoscopic array of groupings and styles, to say nothing of musical eras and period instruments recorded by a plethora of brilliant musicians and ensembles on two continents, a monumental project that took a year to record.
		Caine has performed in the Bay Area twice before: once at the San Francisco Jazz Festival as part of long-time collaborator and clarinetist Don Byron's band in a tribute to '50s entertainer Mickey Katz' kelzmer?meets?kitsch music, and earlier at Yoshi's in avant garde saxophonist San Rivers' group.
		Born 47 years ago, Caine spent his childhood in Philadelphia, the son of two university professors; his father taught law at Temple (and was for a time head of the Philadelphia chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union), and his poet mother taught at Drexel.

	ALLEGRO MUSIC - Order Page
		Caine is mellow and understated, unlike some of his music, and he is still getting used to all the attention from the classical world.
		Caine moved to New York in the late 80's, thriving on the openness of the downtown aesthetic and falling in with mavens like the trumpeter Dave Douglas and the clarinetist Don Byron.
		Caine's record producer, Stefan Winter, knowing of his classical interests, invited him to compose music for a silent film about the life of Mahler, and the resulting project (recorded twice on Winter & Winter) may be the best of his classical-inspired work to date, because it takes such a personal approach.

	Guardian \| Uri Caine Trio, Live at the Village Vanguard
		This Uri Caine Trio toured the UK in December 2001, when it showed that even in a jazz piano-trio world that includes Keith Jarrett's, Brad Mehldau's, Esbjorn Svensson's, Bojan Z's and John Taylor's, it has no trouble standing up alongside the very best.
		Caine's partners here are bassist Drew Gress and drummer Ben Perowsky, and the repertoire mixes standards ancient and modern (All the Way, I Thought About You, Wayne Shorter's Nefertiti) with half a dozen eclectic Caine originals.
		Caine barely touches the piano to state the theme; he builds an impulsive crescendo, retreats back to tiny sounds then veers away from the harmony and back.

		Pianist and composer Uri Caine is one of an increasing number of musicians who are not reluctant to cross traditional musical boundaries.
		Caine orchestrated the original Beethoven piano score in a 19th century style and constructed a new piano part primarily through improvisation.
		Caine is the perfect candidate to incorporate jazz and improvisation into the groundwork laid by composers like Alfred Schnittke; hopefully he will continue along this path, as his next effort will undoubtedly be stronger than this one.

	Uri Caine & Bedrock: Shelf-Life - PopMatters Music Review
		Uri Caine is a mad trickster of the jazz piano, a post-modern musical alchemist who is equally happy goofing on Mahler, in a straight-up jazz trio at the Village Vanguard, playing fusion with ?uestlove or making giddy on '70s television music.
		Caine solos furiously over the tune's TV theme song harmonies, then he gives way to a percussion break-down before the theme returns, heavily flavored by the keyboard's note-bending wheel.
		Caine and his trio color the whole the production with layers of '70s-appropriate groove, acoustic piano tremolos, and wah-wah guitar, all of which climaxes into a staccato horn lick over a drum solo.

	Plan 9's - 9X Magazine
		Caine’s vision is rooted in both jazz and classical music; from there he has branched into projects in which the oil and water of tradition and cutting edge improvisation intertwine.
		Caine’s vision of Mahler as a Jew who converted to Christianity but retained an ambivalent identity is at the heart of a luminous, iconoclastic session.
		Caine’s combination of text-grounded playing and flights of invention are more consistent with classical music’s imaginative heritage than they are with its modern, stuffed and mounted preservation.

	Jan/Feb Gazette: Raising Caine
		Caine based his interpretive process on a simple premise: “The idea was to take a very fixed form and subject it—either by writing or improvisation—to new ways of playing.
		In his own compositions, Caine highlights stylistic connections between Bach and his contemporaries, as in “H”ndel” (scored for harpsichord, gamba and baroque trumpet), and explores the vicissitudes of the 32-bar song form—“The Jaybird Lounge Variation,” for example, is a hard-driving post-bop romp.

	Music: Caine Mutinies (The Boston Phoenix . 10-12-98)
		But with his two latest releases (both on Winter and Winter), pianist Uri Caine cuts the mammoth works of Gustav Mahler and Richard Wagner down to size, recasting them with an ear to the end of this century.
		Caine is even more ambitious in his handling of the Fifth Symphony's sighing Adagietto, which gets peppered with ominous fragments from the Mahler Ninth before subsiding into a schmaltzy phrase from the trio of the First Symphony's Scherzo.
		Caine's string-quartet/accordion/piano arrangements of familiar Wagner opera passages capture the flavor of the originals.

	Uri Caine Ensemble Will Reinterpret Mahler in the Final Event of the "Ancient Faiths, Modern Voices" Festival at ...
		Caine’s reworkings are radically different from the kind of cut-and-paste postmodernism that is prevalent among other avant-gardists,” wrote the New York Times last September.
		Caine moved to New York in the late 1980s, where he was soon anchoring the swing bands of Terry Gibbs and Buddy DeFranco.
		It was there that Caine met clarinetist and composer Don Byron and embarked on an immensely fruitful collaboration involving numerous bands and recordings that span an extraordinary range of musical genres.

	Medialunchbox - Music : Mahler: Urlicht - Primal Light / Caine, Bensoussan, et al. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Pianist Uri Caine, known mainly for playing in the polystylistic mode of New York's downtown jazz scene, steeped himself in Mahler's music in preparation for the 1995 series of concerts leading up to this CD.
		Caine's ensemble--14 members strong, at points--recasts portions of Mahler's symphonic cloudbursts into a setting that smacks of klezmer, jazz, and crazy combinations of the scores' lavish bombastics.
		Caine attempts it all, succeeding most somberly in the sections based on the Resurrection Symphony and most clangorously in the First Symphony's third movement, transformed into a serious klezmer bash by Caine, clarinetist Don Byron, and drummer Joey Baron.

	Caine reworks Beethoven
		Pianist and composer Uri Caine is one of an increasing number of musicians who are not reluctant to cross traditional musical boundaryies.
		Conversely, Caine hit a home run with his jazz set later that evening, succeeding in all the ways that the Beethoven failed.The Philadelphia native came to the table with Thelonious Monk, Anthony Braxton, Wayne Shorter, Louis Armstrong, and Cecil Taylor in his back pocket.
		Caine had no reason to hold back with this ensemble because he knows the three of them can play virtually anything together and it clearly excites them to try.

	village voice > music > Uri Caine Trio's Uri Caine Trio Live at the Village Vanguard by Francis Davis
		Uri Caine has garnered no end of praise for his recontextualizations of Wagner and Mahler, but has received surprisingly little notice as a pianist (as opposed to "keyboardist," his role in Dave Douglas's band).
		Caine's new trio CD from the Village Vanguard should change that.
		But almost every track is a winner, and Caine guards against sameness by varying his attack—jumping registers in one chorus, say, then arpeggiating his way through the next.

	Jazz at Bard \| "Reimagining Mahler" with the Uri Caine Ensemble
		Visionary jazz pianist Uri Caine indulges a lifelong love of Mahler with his band of acclaimed New York downtown musicians who transform the composer’s works in a genre-crossing blend of bop, bossa nova, tango, funk, bar songs and free jazz.
		Caine's ongoing exploration of Gustav Mahler's music has been described by London's Independent as "becoming part of the essential repertoire of our time." The Mahler project grew out of Caine's scoring an accompaniment to a silent film during the JMT Records festival at New York City's Knitting Factory in 1995, and continues to this day.
		Caine is the recipient of grants from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.

	BEBOP BEETHOVEN: Jazz pianist Uri Caine gives an inventive look at classical variations
		Caine is clearly onto something far more ambitious than the typical cursory attempts to jazz the classics; Caine's arrangements enlarge our understanding of his source material, underscore legitimate links between classical music and jazz and provide a wonderful playground for his imagination.
		On one level, Caine's version of the "Diabelli Variations" -- a set of 33 variations on a light-hearted waltz theme -- is less radical than his reworkings of Mahler, Wagner and Bach, in which Caine employed a flexible jazz ensemble.
		Caine's orchestration for the strings is idiomatic and thoughtful, and his piano can be warmly expressive and lyrical or dashing with bebop spriteliness.

		Uri Caine is both a pre-eminent "straight ahead" jazz pianist and a "cutting edge" innovative pianist, musician, and composer who is not afraid to experiment with new forms.
		I had the privilege of interviewing Uri at my office on Rittenhouse Square on a Saturday at the end of September, as he was on his way to Ortlieb's Jazzhaus to perform with a small group of his friends headed by tenor saxophonist, Larry McKenna.
		Uri introduced himself in a warm, friendly, and gentlemanly manner, and then seemed to relax completely as he shot out interesting recollections and stimulating ideas which at times, were almost mesmerizing.

	Classical Net Review - Caine - Arrangements and improvisations on Beethoven's Diabelli Variations
		Uri Caine shows his respect for the composer and the context of his late masterpiece at the outset with the brilliant notion of choosing for this collaboration a leading 'authentic' period instrument orchestra, the Concerto Köln.
		Uri Caine's affection for his source is evident throughout, and his embellishments, partly coming from the world of jazz, ought to cause no offence.
		Uri Caine has previously demonstrated his respect and deep understanding of Mahler (Primal Light WandW 910 004-2) and of Bach's Goldberg Variations (Aria and 70 Variations for Various Ensembles WandW 910 054-2).
