By grzech In All That Jazz /   No Comments

release date: 18 October 2019

World music pioneer Adam Rudolph and his ground-breaking Go: Organic Orchestra join forces with Brooklyn Raga Massive to create monumental new album: Ragmala – A Garland of Ragas, due out October 18, 2019 via Meta Records, bridges generations, cultures and traditions in a deep-rooted, forward-looking sound born of 21st-century innovation and hybrid voices

“Ragmala, A Garden of Ragas stands as a testament to his sui generis creative process. The two-disc set – a gorgeously complex tapestry of sounds, hues and sensations – features Rudolph’s Go: Organic Orchestra… in a sublime pairing with the Brooklyn Raga Massive.” – Suzanne Lorge, DownBeat Magazine

“Ragmala A Garland of Ragas is magnificent music for our times: earthy, glowing, roving and boundless in its creativity and challenging vision for a world united by music.” – Nelson Brill, Boston Concert Reviews

“Two of the most interesting bands in the USA….In the jazz world, not since Sun Ra has this reviewer heard anything so successful at reaching the parts other music generally fails to reach. Rudolph’s music could be described as magisterial, if this were not too high ego a term for such frankly generous, often improvisational playing and seamless integration of global sounds. This double album feels like a milestone in the evolution of truly world music.” – Fiona Mactaggart, London Jazz

[ October the 18th release from Traumton: Bread & Stars – Tales of Wanderlust ]

By grzech In All That Jazz /   No Comments

release date: 18th October 2019

About two years ago, the debut album of this Austrian All Star band appeared, whose sound is at least as individual as the unusual list of instruments promises. With Tales Of Herbst in 2017, the musical storytellers left a deep impression on audiences and international media.

“… a genre-spanning music of delicate sounds and subtle developments. Jazz idiom, improvisation, folklore and Ethno combine these three experts to create their own world music.  – Jazz Podium

“ The album has a darkly electronic atmosphere reminiscent of Nils Petter Molvar and Marilyn Mazur. The live performance brought the subtle melodic beauty of the composition and gave an extended insight into the delicacy and restraint of the trio’s richly layered unity of improvisation. It’s fascinating to see how a modern sound is created with these instruments. ” – London Jazz News ( Live concert review)

One of the most influential improvising musicians currently performing—a “living legend,” per the New Yorker—the pianist and composer Fred Hersch has made groundbreaking contributions in a staggering range of creative formats. DownBeat called his unprecedented cross-disciplinary theatre piece My Coma Dreams “a brave work of art that deserves to be seen and heard.” In the New York Times, the critic Nate Chinen wrote that “solo piano playing is one of the things that Mr. Hersch does best,” before explaining how he “combines the rigours of classical training with the disciplined freedom of improvisation and explores a richly varied repertory.”

[Live] they load their pieces with more energy, which shows in greater dynamics and more extensive improvisations. “

[ 2019 Why Play Jazz – 4th October release – (WPJ052) – Max Andrzejewski’s Hütte – Hütte Guests Play the Music of Robert Wyatt ]

By grzech In All That Jazz /   No Comments

releases October 4, 2019

When one drummer pays tribute to the other it means a lot already. If there are decades between their carriers it becomes even more meaning. But when the understanding of  each other, sharing sarcastic approach and unusual sense of humour turns out to be a spine of the project, then time just twists and makes a hyperbole, especially when both the paying tribute and receiving one, are both quite a characters.
