Talking Cows

Born:

Jazz is deep but you are allowed to have fun, right? Almost Human (2012) is the third CD of Talking Cows, after Bovinity (2006) and Dairy Tales (2008). Talking Cows was founded in 2004 by pianist Robert Jan Vermeulen and saxophonist Frans Vermeerssen. There was a bit more to it then just two musicians who liked each other’s playing. Until then they had never played together: they came from totally different areas of the Dutch jazz scene. The idea came up to make the group ‘a celebration of differences’, so that the different backgrounds became the subject of the group’s material

Dopo Bovinity e Dairy Tales, il quartetto olandese firma il suo terzo disco confermando la sua estetica di fondo: un'ispirato connubio tra stilemi di jazz moderno (con riferimenti anche pre-boppistici) e libera improvvisazione. Le foto in copertina con gli esseri umani dalla testa di bovino forse vogliono rappresentare questa convivenza di due aspetti molto diversi nella ...

Talking Cows may be the world's only bovine-themed jazz group. Titles of previous CDs include Bovinity (Morvin Records, 2006) and Dairy tales (Morvin Records, 2009). Almost Human indicates a move further in the primate direction. But where a true bovine creature may have an aspect of the ruminative in its nature, the Talking Cows does not. ...

If there is anything better than the off-the-wall humor of the video promo that preceded this Talking Cows album, it is the actual album itself. Yet much more than the humor of it all is the spectacular seriousness of the music: deadly serious, and for those familiar with the high standards of music (and humor) in ...

Il primo CD lo hanno intitolato Bovinity (2006), i quattro olandesi volanti. Ma più che essere “bovini" prestati al jazz i musicisti ambiscono a diventare dei cowboy eleganti. Che non disdegnano di accudire le “mucche" con il Tight, indossare scarpini eleganti con tanto di cravatta à la page. Nata nel 2004 a opera del sassofonista Frans ...

Talking Cows: Dairy Tales

Read "Dairy Tales" reviewed by Bruce Lindsay


When a jazz ensemble calls itself Talking Cows, the temptation to make comments about its moo-sic or its horn section is almost too great. But the temptation should be resisted, because this particular group brings much more to the contemporary jazz scene than an opportunity for cheap puns. This Dutch quartet's second CD--the follow-up to Bovinity ...
