Album Description
Chris Cody is proud to announce the release of his new album featuring a truly all star group of jazz musicians from different backgrounds and generations. The music they play when they come together is organic, intuitive, exciting, and without boundaries. As Chris notes "we love the journey each piece takes both us and the audience on". The music was conceived as a lyrical and meditative response to turbulent and divisive times.The album combines jazz with African and French influences - music that has long fascinated Chris and the various band members. There are minimalist and trance elements in bassist Lloyd Swanton's work with the Necks, and saxophonist Sandy Evans has long explored Indian music in her various music projects. The rising star saxophonist Tessie Overmyer is a powerful voice in jazz and improvisation.Playing without a drummer adds exciting rhythmic roles to the individual and group playing, with everybody enjoying the extra space. The group has found some highly innovative ways to exploit the various possibilities of piano, saxophone and bas. They combine Chris’s compositions with free group and solo improvisations to take the listener on a truly exciting and imaginative journey. Have a listen on bandcamp!
