Weingarten tops it off with a brief but tasteful electric guitar solo. “Skying Out” grooves so good it’s easy to not notice there’s no percussion to it. Weingarten and David Udell uses contrasting electric lead guitars that give the otherwise willowy “Goodbye Sun” a rock sting. “What The Raindrop Saw (Cafe Mix)” is a stripped down version of the song that has more of Kit Walker’s piano on it. Just as he often uses Manring to double with him on the main melodic line on other songs, Weingarten enlists Tate Bissinger’s wordless vocal to amplify the fetching theme on “What The Raindrop Saw,” helping to make it sound almost like it belongs on a David Crosby album. “Brother Mountain” adds pianist Peter Calandra and gently waltzing number abounds in velvety tones, even when Weingarten is playing that slide or an acerbic-toned electric guitar.
2021 EMBER DAYS HOW TO
“Round Robin,” for instance, was all done by Weingarten, save for Manring’s basses, but he knows how to harmoniously layer in all his guitar parts, synthesizer and rhythm sequencing to craft his signature style that sounds richly celestial and terrestrial at the same time. Nothing at all is lost from the leader’s deeper involvement with the instrumentation because his vision remains precise. The guitarist remains the main star, though, his guitars able to suggest so many disparate influences from rock to jazz to blues and folk, presented it in a way that perfectly serves the music and that soothing/stimulating mission. It’s hard to imagine a Carl Weingarten record these days without elite electric bassist Michael Manring, and I’m happy to report that the coronavirus couldn’t keep Manring from participating in these sessions. If anything, Ember Days largely picks up where This is Where I Found You (2018) left off, with many of the usual suspects carried over. He continues unabated to make crystalline instrumental music that’s both soothing and stimulating, sweating all the details in making it all sound uncomplicated. Simply put, Carl Weingarten adapted and changed, but it’s really more about adapting because the end result is much the same that’s been appealing about Carl Weingarten music for over three decades. The global pandemic hit around the time Weingarten was planning to record his next album, but since he couldn’t have session players in his studio to help him record it, he shrugged and simply handled more of the instrumentation on his own and had other musicians tape their parts remotely from as far away as Uruguay. Musicians everywhere have had to acclimate to a new reality over the last year, but New Age guitar champ Carl Weingarten didn’t slow down. This ensures that I get the beautifully burnished, blistered crust that all sourdough bakers strive for.Ember Days – New Release! by Carl Weingarten The low sides of the skillet make it way easier for me to load the dough and remove the loaf when it’s done baking, but I still get the steam-trapping capabilities of a regular Dutch oven. The biggest upside to the combo cooker over my enameled Dutch oven is that I can use it inverted, with the shallow “lid” (the skillet half of the combo) as the base. Since buying mine in July of last year, I’ve baked at least two sourdough loaves per week in it, bringing my tally up to about 80 boules. Made from seasoned black cast iron, it’s essentially a skillet and a Dutch oven in one.
If you bake bread regularly, you owe it to yourself to grab this two-in-one marvel. For a long time, it was my default bread-baking vessel, too. The enamel finish is easy to clean and surprisingly resilient, and the cast iron holds and distributes heat exceptionally well. I’ve made this incredible Ghanian chicken and peanut stew in it dozens of times. But it’s still my go-to for making chili, stew, and biryani. Ten years is a long time in kitchen terms, and this piece certainly has its battle scars-chips from the occasional drop, some scratches from careless cleaning, and stains from cooked-on oil.
I bought my first piece of Lodge cookware-a green enameled 6-quart Dutch oven-back in 2011, and I still use it on a weekly basis.
