Exegesis: The Harmony of the Anomaly

AAJ Italy Staff By AAJ Italy Staff

View read count
Gli Exegesis sono nati nel 2001 con l'idea di portare avanti un progetto complesso che lega il jazz all'elettronica, con la sensibilità della nuova musica e dei nuovi territori. Non ci sono radici particolarmente evidenti nel lavoro di questo trio guidato dal chitarrista Nick Demopoulos. Le composizioni sono tutte originali, divise abbastanza equamente fra il chitarrista e il bassista Danton Boller, le vere menti creative del gruppo. Lo scenario che dipingono è piuttosto inusuale, da realtà virtuale ricostruita in laboratorio con l'aiuto di mega computer.

In alcuni casi il batterista abituale Tomas Fujiwara è sostituito da altri colleghi e in un paio di brani ritroviamo la voce della brava Gretchen Parlato, una vocalist che si sta distinguendo sulla scena movimentata del jazz moderno. La sua voce eterea è un giusto complemento a questi brani così lunari, così lontani da sensibilità terrene. Anomalie da tenere d'occhio.
