Constellation Records alumnus Craig Dunsmuir presents his hypnotic out-jazz tentet Dun-Dun Band (out 3 May on Ansible Editions)

For anyone at all acquainted with underground music in Toronto, Craig Dunsmuir is as ubiquitous as he is revered. Many locals know him for his profound knowledge and curiosity as a listener, traits he’s deployed as a DJ and while working at some of the city’s most beloved record stores. His famously encyclopedic vantage point, though, has also served as fuel for the vast musical output he has created over the past 20+ years.

[ October 20th, 2023 release on Cassiar Records: Josh Cole – KIND MIND ]

By grzech In All That Jazz / No Comments

release date: 20.10.2023 on Cassiar Records

“Each track stretches across several minutes, but the experience they create is one of a fractured, or fragmented, forum of ideas—motifs come and go, each with their own sense of internal coherence[…] Every so often, the trio fnds union in a shared melody or brief glimpses of consonance. But these moments are feeting, and the ensemble’s search is ongoing—they keep turning over stones, exposing wriggling bits of life.” — Brennan McCracken, Musicworks

“I like the trio’s unique musical vision, its tender and determined sound and the way it is delivered: with quality and precision. To create your own voice in the crowded musical environment of today is a feat.” — Stef Gijssels, Free Jazz Blog
“Phrases often seem deliberately tentative, and exclamations sometimes evaporate into question marks […] The group’s use of space allows for their improvisations to possess distinctive shape and structure, so that when Kind Mind goes full throttle the element of surprise is on their side.” — Yoshi Maclear Wall, The WholeNote
