[ May the 8th release from Hubro: Jo David Meyer Lysne & Mats Eilertsen – Kroksjø ]

By grzech In All That Jazz / No Comments

release date: 5.05.2020 via Hubro

Limited edition LP – 500 pcs only

The new album by the partnership of guitarist Jo David Meyer Lysne (born 1994) and double bassist Mats Eilertsen (born 1975) is a remarkable document that functions simultaneously as both a calm and meditative series of chill-out soundscapes, and as a rigorously poetic evocation of mood and place that one might expect to hear more readily in an art gallery installation. While sharing some similarities with their 2018’s debut duo recording Meander, it also takes things further and appear to drift more into the abstract space, from previous, more melodic aspects. Listen to find out.

[ May the 1st release from Meta Records: The Karuna Trio – Imaginary Archipelago ]

By grzech In All That Jazz / No Comments

release date: Friday, 1.05.2020 via Meta Records

“What drives their every impulse is something that puts [the trio] in tune with the melody, harmony and rhythm of life… each musician responds intuitively to the other with not just hands and breath but body and spirit.” – Raul da Gama, World Music Report

The three visionary musicians that make up the Karuna Trio – master percussionists Adam Rudolph and Hamid Drake and saxophonist/multi-instrumentalist Ralph M. Jones – have each forged a singular voice by culling inspirations that span the globe and reach back through musical and cultural histories. On their second album as a trio, Imaginary Archipelago, the group’s improvisatory explorations take them into an undiscovered country of sonic invention. These strikingly original pieces imagine an isolated island chain where musical traditions have evolved untouched by the rest of the world.

This is not a secret here for those who are reading my reviews and articles for a while, or know my taste for the doble bass music, that if there is anything new about that subject I gotta know it sooner rather than later. In that case it is definitely later , I would say that it is even pretty damn late, as this material had been recorded in 2000 and this news via bandcamp subscription came to me daily like to all of you and to say it at least: Took Me by Surprise, but what a wonderful surprise is that: Mark Dresser & Mark Helias, two of the bassists I simply admire, together making sweet and gob-smacking recording under funky cinematic joke a like title: The Marks Brothers. Please follow an excellent Bill Showmaker essay on that session written at the date but freshly discovered by myself today. What a Real blast from the Past it is!
