[ March the 25th, 2022 release via Ubuntu Music:Harry Christelis & Pedro Velasco – Scribbling ]

By grzech In All That Jazz / No Comments

release date: Fri 25th March 2022 (LP/ CD / DL) on Ubuntu Music

Scribbling features the explorative music of British & Portuguese guitar duo Harry Christelis & Pedro Velasco. Released on the influential Jazz and New Music label, Ubuntu, Scribbling is Christelis & Velasco’s debut release.

Created using only their guitars and pedalboard hardware, the eleven immersive tracks of thoughtprovoking compositions and improvisations on Scribbling range from melancholic tonal jazz ballads and exquisite folk melodies to distorted drones, sustained ambient textures, and dissonant bleeps. Scribbling suggests an introspective, deep, human blues alongside an imaginary response to the NASA Voyager’s Golden Record beamed back to Earth, from a land far, far away.

[ 25th of March,2022 release on Rune Grammofon: Action & Tension & Space – Tellus ]

By grzech In All That Jazz / No Comments

release date: 25.03.2022 on Rune Grammofon

The band describe themselves as a spaced out, instrumental lounge-rock outfit, with added elements of folk music, jazzy surf, psychedelia, free improvised chill-out, jangly post-rock and travelling bass. Not much for us to add here, apart from possibly a pinch of krautrock.

[ 25th of March,2022 release on Rune Grammofon: Master Oogway with Henriette Eilertsen – Happy Village ]

By grzech In All That Jazz / No Comments

release date: 25.03.2022 on Rune Grammofon

“Happy Village” is Master Oogway’s third album, their second on Rune Grammofon. The music on the previous outing two years ago (“Earth And Other Worlds”) was all written by Håvard, while the music on “Happy Village” is written by Karl Erik, one track co-written with Håvard.

“Happy Village” finds the band in a more lyrical and exuberant mood than before, in no small part due to Henriette’s beautiful contributions.

[ March the 18th, 2022 self-release: Aaron Dolman,Sarah Rossy, Eugénie Jobin – Are You Here To Help? ]

By grzech In All That Jazz / No Comments

This unique drums and voice trio consists of Aaron Dolman (drums, compositions) and singers Sarah Rossy, and Eugénie Jobin (aka Ambroise, who occasionally joins on vibraphone). Their music deftly oscillates between minimalist song and more abstract territory, and sometimes combines the two such as on their idiosyncratic treatment of Joni Mitchell’s “The Fiddle And The Drum.”

[ March the 11th, 2022 self-release by Tania Gill Quartet — Disappearing Curiosities ]

By grzech In All That Jazz / No Comments

release date: 11.03.2022 ; artist’s self-release

“Gill’s spiky, sparse piano was most successful in channeling the eccentric spirit of the masterful Monk” — Geoff Chapman, Toronto Star

Twelve years passed since Tania Gill‘s debut Bolger Station in 2010. The whole decade is quite a gap and many might not even notice its original appearance at all. I didn’t , being Europe based and if not the recent Disappearing Curiosities I might not ever cross the path with Tania’s music, which would be an unfortunate event as despite of the lack of the recognition outside of her domestic Toronto scene, it is the music which well deserves to be known better and listened to. The fact that the line up stays firm since a decade also says a lot. Lina Allemano — trumpet; Rob Clutton—bass; Nico Dann — drums, remain valid members of pianist Quartet.

[ March the 4th, 2022 release via Not applicable records: Isambard Khroustaliov – Shanzhai Acid ]

By grzech In All That Jazz / No Comments

release date: 04.03.2022 via Not applicable records

A remarkable album produced through artificial intelligence design and interaction with modular synthesisers is the latest offering from British musician Sam Britton aka Isambard Khroustaliov. Sam’s music had always being exploring some cyber musical Universe in sort of avant garde, but that one is taking the whole experiment even further,

“Deliciously and maddeningly unclassifiable” – The Wire
“Truly innovative” – BBC Late Junction
“Oddly recalling free music experiments of the late 60s by Spontaneous Music Ensemble if time-warped to a postrave warehouse ritual on the Moon. Fearless” – Electronic Sound
“abstract flicker, controlled tone and daring extended strategies … it’s all going on.” Jazzwise
“This is music of fracture that somehow manages to move in continuous sweeps of sound.” – Future Music

[ March the 4th, 2022 release via Firehouse 12 Records: Tomas Fujiwara’s Triple Double – March ]

By grzech In All That Jazz / No Comments

release date: 04.03.2022 via Firehouse 12 Records

“Deliberately seeing double in the cause of exploratory jazz, Fujiwara brings together instrumentalists primed to rub each other in all the right and creatively wrong ways.“ – The New Yorker

“[The six musicians’] collective talent and Fujiwara’s innovative leadership make for a tonic of unpredictability… A triple scoop of great music.” – Britt Robson, JazzTimes

“March is brilliantly mad, joyously improvisational, cathartically cleansing. The perfect companion to two years of isolation, this music frees your spirits and clearly makes the musicians soar.…It all goes happy-hour punch-drunk in the dual-drummer assault of ‘Wave Shake Angle Bounce,” with ominous tri-tones backing gleeful guitar and trumpet as Fujiwara and Cleaver bash and bleed.” – Ken Micallef, JazzTimes

Rufus Reid calls Air – bassist Martin Wind’s new album with four double bassists – “a tour de force.” Ron Carter agrees, saying “marvel at the music and arrangements of these 4 bassists and their very special guests.” This extraordinary album, available February 25, 2022 via Laika Records, features the double bass in an entirely new way: making it the center of the action.
