"Feet on the
ground" is a new CD featuring Lorre
Lynn Trytten on the violin and viola. It's safe to claim that there was
never a CD quite like this one. As a showcase for the diversity of Lorre's
musical taste, pop, jazz, ethnic and classical music all pass the revue. Thirteen
of the nineteen tracks were written by Lorre herself; the other six by
Sezen Aksu, J. S. Bach, Dexter Gordon, John Hiatt, Bernard Hunnekink and
Cheb Mami. Lorre's virtuosity, energy and passion are given ample chances
for display and thanks to sound engineer Bob Schimscheimer the warm tone of
her acoustic instruments has been faithfully reproduced. This is not a CD
for electric-violin lovers!

Gustav Klimt Quartet
Composers and arrangers are often unaware of how
much a string quartet can add to virtually any style of music when its
possibilities are fully utilized. Lorre decided to showcase the Gustav
Klimt string quartet on this recording. Classically-trained, but with a
preference for non-classical music, these capable musicians rival even
Lorre herself in versatility and "swing."

Arend Niks
"Feet on the ground" is also notable for its collaboration between
drums and violin. The improvised solo between viola and toms in "Blue
lake" and the cymbal part on the title track are examples of
this successful collaboration. Drummer/composer Arend Niks added
significantly to the quality of the recording with his masterful playing,
but also with his creative ideas and enthusiasm.

The following music was
recorded:
- Citadel (L. L. Trytten)--Written to commemorate a short-lived but
unforgettable jazz-rock band.
- Zalim (Aksu/Mansurof, arr. L. L. Trytten)--Sezen Aksu is a wonderful Turkish
singer/songwriter whose band performed in a cultural exchange concert
series with the Willem Breuker Kollektief.
- Feet on the ground (L. L. Trytten)--Written for my friend Jenifer.
- Blois (Bernard Hunnekink, arr. L. L. Trytten)--Written for a
documentary about the creation of new stained-glass windows for the
cathedral of Blois,
France.
- Tussendoortje (L. L. Trytten)--Commissioned by Stichting Nieuwe Muziek
Zeeland, the Netherlands,
and inspired by performances with violist Celise Kalke.
- You used to kiss the
girls (John Hiatt, arr. L. L.
Trytten)--The music of American singer/songwriter John Hiatt lends
itself perfectly to an instrumental arrangement.
- Preludio (J. S. Bach, arr. L. L. Trytten)--Bach is one of the few
composers whose music remains sublime even when arranged as the
"ultimate shuffle."
- Meli meli (Cheb Mami, arr. L. L. Trytten)--The high point of a vacation in Tunisia was an
evening of impromptu dancing with local college students, which
sparked an interest in Raï, a form of Algerian popular music.

sessions with colleague Alex Coke, this became an absolutely favorite

- High heels (L. L. Trytten)--Inspired by the guitar solo on a record by
the southern rock band 38 Special.
- Oscar (L. L. Trytten)--Another "ultimate shuffle." A
shuffle is actually a technique that comes from bluegrass, but comes
in handy at all times.

by the composer's jet-lag, this fugue basically wrote itself.
