Composer and performer Stina Stjern has for over 25 years been a steady presence in the Norwegian music scene – starting out as a vocalist in the rock band Supervixen while studying jazz in Trondheim, Stjern’s road has been anything but predictable, and has over the years shown a will to experiment and explore new areas in her music making. Her new album ”Vivid Peace Restored” is perhaps her most radical musical statement yet, as the entire album is made using cassette tape.

By grzech In All That Jazz /   No Comments

Undrilling the Hole, due out November 22, 2024, via TryTone Records, features seven new compositions by alto saxophonist/artistic director Tobias Klein, with trumpeter Bart Maris, saxophonist John Dikeman, guitarist Jasper Stadhouders, bassist Gonçalo Almeida and drummer Philipp Moser.

“What’s exciting—and impressive—about Spinifex’s music is the way the group manages to absorb and synthesize a variety of influences [and] produce something greater than a simple grab-bag of styles… they’re also able to foreground technical mastery via incredibly tight, complex structures and at the same time leave room for freer play and discovery.” – Eric McDowell, The Free Jazz Collective

“This heavily international group specializes in a collective meshing, combining the precision of composed themes with ample leeway for crashing over the barriers, splattering down onto a grassy field of wild improvisatory freedom.” – Martin Longley, All About Jazz

[ November the 15th, 2024 release on Earshift Music: Peggy Lee & Cole Schmidt – Forever Stories of: Moving Parties ]

By grzech In All That Jazz /   No Comments

release date: 15.11.2024 on Earshift Music

Cellist Peggy Lee and guitarist Cole Schmidt are quite simply two of the most important composer-improvisers to have emerged from Vancouver’s vibrant creative music community. Both wield vast vocabularies on their respective instruments and with them, they can coax out a seemingly endless array of sonic colours within just as many stylistic frameworks. They’re also united by their shared gift for a particular sort of melodicism—one that can sneak its way into multiple idioms and expressions.
