The name of Werner’s latest album derives from a chapter in his famous self-help book Effortless Mastery, whereby ‘the space’ is the mental/spiritual freedom from which spontaneous music can flow. The enclosed results are lyrical, inventive, heavily marked by various generations of European classical music and brilliantly executed, as one might expect. The 16-minute title-track is actually a suite of several sections that are (as far as I can tell) unrelated to each other, and it may be that a later track, ‘Fifth Movement’, should be heard in conjunction with them. But, as well as the original material and a couple of song standards (an out-of-tempo ‘You Must Believe In Spring’ and the only groovy item, ‘If I Should Lose You’), there is also Werner’s version of Keith Jarrett’s ‘Encore From Tokyo’, which seems more laidback than its originator (and also spares the listener any self-indulgent exclamations). And two tunes by Pirouet’s engineer/producer Jason Seizer constitute the remainder of the repertoire.
