Nori
Enriching an aesthetic deeply rooted in American jazz and folk music, the ensemble playfully weaves together a myriad of global influences giving rise to a seamless synthesis of sound. These musical explorations expertly balance the narrative of the song with wide-open improvisations, echoing the transcendent tones of Nina Simone, Bill Frisell, John Coltrane, and Joni Mitchell.
The band’s debut album World Anew received much critical acclaim after its release in 2016. Their 2018 follow-up Bruise Blood highlighted visceral themes of social divisions in 21st century America. Nori is releasing an album exclusively on vinyl on December 3, 2021. The record documents the band's diverse catalogue and will include two new tracks – "The Garden (2021 version with strings)" and a cover of Nina Simone's "Four Women."

Ken Franckling's Jazz Notes
The late 1950s and the 1960s were fertile years in the development of the hard-bop style. That incubation was so dominated by the players of one jazz record label that it has become known as The Blue Note Era because the Blue Note label’s bands and future bandleaders had an indelible impact on modern jazz. Trumpeter Dan Miller and tenor saxophonist Lew Del Gatto celebrated that style and spirit on Monday, December 10, performing with their rock-solid quintet for the ...

Honoring and updating a classic saxophone sound and spirit

Ken Franckling's Jazz Notes
Bandleader Woody Herman's Second Herd in the late 1940s featured a stunning saxophone section known as the Four Brothers. It featured tenormen Stan Getz, Zoot Sims and Herbie Steward, plus baritone saxophonist Serge Chaloff. The sound was swinging and vibrant as the four players dug into crisp unison lines and took turns passing solos to one another much like relay runners hand off the baton. Seventy years after the Four Brothers made their mark on big band jazz, Harry Allen ...
