#3964: A Touch of Jazz
For this New Sounds, hear music which may enter the realm of jazz, but admits other sounds from other parts of the world and other genres. From Canada, sample music from the Jensen sisters -trumpeter Ingrid, and sax player Christine- along with featured guitarist Ben Monder, whose guitar lines intertwine with Christine’s alto sax on the tune “Octofolk.” Then hear brand-new music from Lapland, Sweden by jazz/folk guitarist Torbjörn Ömalm which involves loops, layers and handclaps, along with brand-new music from trumpeter Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah, over a bed of electronica- and hiphop-influenced production.
Then there’s whispery chamber jazz from Norwegian trumpeter Arve Henriksen, which involves a string ensemble, along with music from UK-based trumpeter/improviser Laura Jurd which also involves a string quartet, and is dedicated to the Czech violinist/vocalist Iva Bittova. Plus, hear music from Toronto-based quartet BADBADBADNOTGOOD, featuring additional saxophone reinforcements from none other than Colin Stetson.
Listen to jazz-with-a-groove music with shifting meters (7/8 and 3/4, for those counting along) from the Jon de Lucia Group, wickedly titled, “Seven Ate Three For You.” Hear post-rock, folk-jazz and art-rock -also with odd time signatures- in music from Serbia. From the quartet EYOT, straight out of the kitchen of sound engineer Steve Albini, hear a work (in fives) dedicated to one of the greatest Serbian scientists, Milutin Milankovic. Also, from Serbia, there's folk-jazz music (in sprightly sevens) from Nenad Vasilic.
