Various Artists : Réplicas [Jazz Series #02]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“2010 was the year of the earthquake with 8.8 magnitude on the Richter scale that strucked Chile on February 27th. 2010 was a year of abundant subsequent earthquakes associated with the main event. In Concepcion, the major southern city which experienced the greatest damage, the music overcame the experience, and in the capital, Santiago, jazz musicians initiate systematic record productions in public clubs to process this impact. Replica is the title of the composition specially commissioned by pianist Mario Feito whose trio completed two years of weekly performances at the club Five Minutes. This is the theme that leads this new collection a year back when jazz was extremely moved by those earthquakes.”

Ada Rave Cuarteto : La Continuidad [pyr042]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“la continuidad, the first album from the ada rave cuarteto! the group is a fury of sound. intensely focused free improvisations give rise to pre-conceived compositions that allow the quartet to stretch out. they pay tribute to their inspirations – monk, braxton, ornette and dolphy – but, from that starting point, they set off in their own direction. lots of space, lots of listening to each other. quiet studies in the limits of their instruments. swing pulse rhythms on post modern be-bop. a genuine sound of joy.”

Ekkis : The Torronto Album [mnd014]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“A cancelled gig led to a spare week, which led to a bunch of field recordings from around the city, which led to this album. Nearly all the sounds you hear were sourced from the people, places and inanimate objects in the city, from bicycles and cake pans to construction workers and tramps.”

Horiso : He And Other Both Creatures [brhnet20]

Adriano Orrù : Hèsperos [LBN011]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“Hèsperos is a work based on simplicity. A musician and his instrument. Some other small objects: marbles balls, pins, beaters… Six tracks that have in common the fact of starting from the simplest thing in an instrument like the double bass: the sound of a open string. This element is the ‘basic foundation’ from which it develops that small or big world of sounds which is a music piece. Many simple pieces can give life to something complex. Just like in nature.”

Sephirot : Flash FWD [PLANET032]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“Having released his debut EP with Planet Terror in December 2009, Sephirot returns with Flash FWD, a four-track EP encompassing vibrant house, deep dub tones, soft jazz inflections and syncopated 2-step rhythms. Somehow this young Leeds-based musician has further broadened his sound, absorbing new influences and spitting them back out as a fresh, synthy melange across this half-hour offering.”

Recórcholis : Sesiones Extraviadas [001records-jazz01]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“Recórcholis (perdimos a uno) by Claudio Rubio, one of Chile’s “new jazz” saxofonist, was commissioned in december of 2009 to headline a series of compilations of music created during the year. Thus the CD Recórcholis is snapshot of a very productive season in which composers and improvisors have recorded works that mark the route to higher levels in chilean jazz.”

KRYPTIC UNIVERSE // Passau [SLC0010]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“A few may still know him under the name of Microstep. In the 90s, Kryptic Universe co-organized smashing parties with the Plastic Phreak collective and spun records alongside heroes like Andrea Parker, DJ Jonson, Mike Dearborn or Arovane. Since 2003, he’s been experimenting with sounds and beats, investing his heart and soul in the silicon circuits to call to life a Detroit jazz electro style the way it used to be. Next to electronic music, jazz is the love of his life. Musically, he is rooted in Motor City and Detroit’s sound. So far, you could see him play live at the Whatever in Dresden. And while he still loves vinyl records, he also appreciates mp3 music, ever since he discovered the universe of netlabels. In 2010 his Techno output was released on two records via Melted recordings. And more to come. If you like his album Passau please don’t miss his Electro-Jazz debut 3130351 Volt over at Phonocake netlabel.”
