Review

blue haiku's first CD, heat beneath the sand, includes ten original songs written by guitarist/vocalist Phillip Bimstein (two co-authored with veteran songwriter Michael Smith) and arranged by the group. Their contemporary songs blend voice, oboe, English horn, violin, guitar and upright bass in classically nuanced interplay with elements of improvisation. The sandstone canyons and landscapes of blue haiku's home state of Utah are evoked in “Desert Rain” and “Westwind,” which also laments the intrusion of city-bred air pollution into the Grand Canyon. “Heartbeat of the World” and “Take Me In (To Your Wilderness)” express a passion for nature. “Venezuela” liltingly paints the picture of a love-forsaken woman working in a chocolate factory. “Rainy Season” and “Old Story” were co-authored with Michael Smith (“The Dutchman,” “Crazy Mary”). The intricate arrangements feature well crafted solos by the violin, oboe, English horn and bass.
