The Call of life
Kevin Norwood Quartet
Prochain album
Après Reborn et Hope, le Kevin Norwood Quartet poursuit son voyage musical avec un troisième opus, The Call of Life. Ce nouveau répertoire marque une nouvelle étape dans l’évolution artistique du groupe, mêlant profondeur poétique et liberté d’improvisation.
À travers des compositions originales, The Call of Life explore des thèmes universels : la quête de sens, l’appel de la lumière, la beauté fragile de l’existence. La voix singulière de Kevin Norwood, à la croisée du jazz et d’une expressivité profondément intime, porte des textes puissants et introspectifs.
Chaque morceau devient une méditation, où les émotions se déploient dans une alchimie subtile entre voix et instruments.
Le quartet, fidèle à son identité, joue sur les nuances et les contrastes : des mélodies aériennes côtoient des instants d’intense improvisation, où la musique devient un langage libre, vibrant d’humanité. Entre souffle et silence, entre élévation et ancrage, The Call of Life est un voyage intérieur, une célébration de la vie et de sa lumière.
Nouvelle création rendue possible grâce au soutien du Petit Duc – Théâtre et Chansons, qui a accueilli le projet en résidence en octobre 2024.
Ce travail a été suivi d’un concert de sortie de résidence, avec l’appui du CNM, de la DRAC Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur et de la SPEDIDAM

Would you soar, evermore
Would you dream as before
Could you soar, nevermore
As we dream to the distant shores
We carve new path as we go
Finding more that we could know
Fearless,
We’re leaving tracks as we flow
As we bloom and gently grow
Side by side, we journey on
Endlessly bound
Forever one
You teach me life’s embrace
Guiding me through life
With care
In your gentle grace
Would you ever be, my wandering star ?
Could you ever be, the one that I desireWould you ever be, my wandering star ?
Could you ever be, the one that I admire
Would you roam, far from home ?
Would you seek lands unknown ?
Could you soar on your own ?
As we chase dreams (yet) unknown?
Hand in hand, we travel far
Bound as we are
We are locked as one
You teach me life’s embrace
Guiding me through life
With care
In your gentle grace
Would you ever be, my wandering star ?
Could you ever be, the one that I desire ?
Would you ever be, my wandering star ?
Could you ever be, the one that I admire ?Through the darkest skies, I see you shine
Falling, rising high and clearing my mind
Through the shifting tides, you stay so near
Holding, lifting me and easing my tears
Would you ever be, my wandering star ?
Could you ever be, the one that I desire ?
Would you ever be, my wandering star ?
Could you ever be, the one that I admire
Would you stay, come what may?
Would you lead night to day?
Could we soar, far away,
As our dreams light the …
Would you stay, come what may?
Would you lead night to day?
Could we soar, far away,
As our dreams light the way ?

Breathe it deep,
Hold it near,
Let it bloom,
Find it now, gently stirring,
Life’s sacred call.
Feel it rise,
Take its hand,
Guide its path,
Answer now, soft and whispered,
Life’s hallowed bond,
Ere breaks the dawn…
Hear it hum,
Feel its pulse,
Watch it grow,
See it now, quietly glowing,
Life’s gentle flame.Hold it close,
Shield it well,
Watch it soar,
Trust it now, softly breathing,
Life’s steady grace
(Ere breaks the dawn…)
Life call’s resound,then stills
Drawing us near
Bound by a promise so true
Life drawing our souls near
Holding breath, still
Hearts awaken, true
Steady as we climb, through life
Light, guiding every step
Sense it near,
Hear it breathe,
Feel it glow,
See it now, softly rising,Life’s quiet flame.
Hold it dear,
Guard it well,
Let it soar,
Trust its light, gently shining,
Life’s lasting grace.
Ere breaks the done
Life call’s resound,then stills
Drawing us near
Bound by a promise so true
Life drawing our souls near
Holding breath, still
Hearts awaken, true
Steady as we climb, through life
Light, guiding every step

In the stillness, I wander, and gaze upon my
dreams
Thoughts are getting too wild to hold on tight
In the stillness, I’m drifting through pages of
the past
Things are breaking too wild and far to hold
on tight
Soft breath
Across the veil
To whispers low
In mercy’s glow
Hear me calling, I’m drawn to mercy’s light
Soft glow
Beyond the dark
To whispered peace
In stillness found
Hear me sigh, yield, and praise to mercy’s call
In the stillness, I’m tracing the echoes left
behind
Dreams are turning too wild and far to hold ontight
Light breath
Through night’s embrace
To murmurs low
In mercy’s glow
Hear my spirit, drawn to mercy’s light
Soft flame
Beyond the dusk
To whispered calm
In quiet rest
See me bow, in praise of mercy’s call
In the stillness, I concede, and drift among my
dreams,
Thoughts are slipping too wild to hold them
tight.”
In the stillness, I wander through memories of
the past,
They’re getting too wild and far to hold them
tight …”

As the rock fell and rolled through our
lives,
In an instant,
Breaking your bones,
The stone
Froze time.
Its shadows stretched across the sky
between you and I.
Under April sky,
Through your cry,
I felt life’s sigh.
As the rock, lay and pressed on your
frame,
In a heartbeat,
Strength filled my soul,
The tree
Held strong.Its roots became the will to save,
to lift you free.
Under April sky,
Through your fight,
I saw love’s light
As we stood, in the glow of springtime’s
bloom,
In its stillness,
The truth was clear,
Our hearts
Beat one.
The fragile gift of love and life had
brought us back to grace.
Under April sky,
Through it all,
We felt life’s call.

The further I wander, the closer I am to me
The longer I linger, the nearer I’m finding me.
The deeper I listen, the clearer the path will be
The softer I whisper, the stronger I hear from me.
But here I go again, back to black,
Caught in same refrain.
But here I go again, losing track,
Caught in same refrain.
But here I stand again, back to black,
Caught in same old pain.
And here I fall again, losing track,
Caught in same old pain.
Far away from home, a place for none,
I carry on, I rise, I run, until the dawn.
Far away to come, a place for one,
I run, ’til the night is done.
Far away to roam, a place for none,
I carry on, I rise, I run, until I’m home.
Far away to known, a place for one,
I run, ’til my heart is home.
But here I go again, back to black,
Caught in same refrain.
But here I go again, losing track,
Caught in same (up)refrain. to REF + instruFar not so far, closer than it seems
The silence grows within
Feeling lost not so lost, steel within my reach
The darkness pulls me in
Drawing near not so near, further than it feels
The fire burns within
So far, not so far,
As far as me I’m finally free
Steel I rise set me free
Near, not so near, further than I knew
The echo calls within.
Whole, not so whole, pieces left behind
The cracks begin to shoooow.....
PIANO SOLO
Clear, not so clear, further than I knew
The echo calls within.
Strong not so strong, fragments left behind
The cracks begin to shoooow.....
Not so near, further than it feels
The fire burns within
So Far, not so far
As far as me I’m finally free
Steel I rise set me free
