SEBASTIAN NOELLE QUARTET, SHELTER
Sebastian Noelle, guitar;
Marc Mommaas, tenor sax;
Matt Clohesy, bass;
Colin Stranahan, drums
|
|
Guitarist-composer Sebastian Noelle has spent much of his life traveling the elusive path between two worlds.
In life, he travels back and forth between his native Germany and his adopted home of New York City; in his
art, he navigates the more fluid boundaries between the abstract and the emotional. Throughout that nomadic
existence, music has provided a constant source of shelter, an idea that unifies the wide-ranging music on
Noelle’s third CD.
On Shelter, Noelle leads a stellar quintet that brings together some of the most forward-thinking and limitless
musicians in modern jazz: saxophonist Marc Mommaas (Amina Figarova, Armen Donelian), pianist Matt
Mitchell (Dave Douglas, Tim Berne), bassist Matt Clohesy (Seamus Blake, Darcy James Argue, Donny
McCaslin), and drummer Dan Weiss (Rudresh Mahanthappa, Dave Binney).
“A guitarist probably best known for his integral role in Darcy James Argue’s Secret Society, Mr. Noelle has a
rewarding new album, “Shelter,” that showcases his embrace of both lyrical intricacies and rockish swagger” -
Nate Chinen (New York Times)

The New York–based tenor saxophonist and composer has released two critically acclaimed albums for
Sunnyside Records. “Unified” features Roy Hargrove, David Binney and Jeremy Pelt and “Evoke” documents
his 2012 working 55 Bar quintet of Mike Moreno, Benito Gonzalez, Corcoran Holt, and McClenty Hunter.
“Stan Killian is reminiscent of Jimmy Heath in that his compositions and tenor saxophone work make each
other better. His playing is smart but unpretentious, logical yet unrestrained. That kind of balance is hard to
achieve in jazz.”-- Jazz Times

TOM CHANG QUARTET

Quinsin Nachoff, tenor sax;
Sam Bevan, bass;
Kenny Grohowski, drums
|
|
Contemporary jazz guitarist, Tom Chang leads a quintet featuring some of the finest improvisers in the
New York jazz scene. The music will encompass modern jazz to contemporary classical all with a heavy
emphasis on groove and melody.
"What separates these tracks from other rock-leaning cuts made by jazz musicians today? It feels authentic.
And then the brief funk tune "Scatterbrain" emerges about halfway though the album, there's chicken-scratch
guitar and a simple yet heavy beat that screams The Meters. But later, things get eerie, as is someone was
mixing funk with a New York jazz edge. That someone was Chang." --Brad Faberman (Downbeat Mag.)

ALBERT MARQUES / ROY NATHANSON QUINTET
Albert Marques, piano;
Roy Nathanson, alto saxophone;
Linton Smith, trumpet;
Eva Lawitts, double bass;
Zack O'Farrill, drums
|
|
Roy Nathanson is an old-school downtown kook armed with a saxophone, a pen, and his own exuberant wit. Albert Marquès is a modern-day Catalan contrarian with a muddy history involving punk rock, molotov cocktails, and bebop on the illuminated streets and dark clubs of Paris. Their common ground is their love for the separatist definition of the word jazz and their shared fascination with what happens when you take songs everyone knows and loves and play them with little to no regard for how they've been played before. They are joined by a bespectacled youth repping New Orleans' infamous Ninth Ward, a musical polyglot whose true language is sardonicism, and the loquacious scion of a musical family whose drumming has as much Thomas Pynchon as it does bebop and timba.

JEREMY POWELL QUARTET

Nitzan Gavrieli, piano;
Ricky Rodriguez, bass;
Allan Mednard, drums
|
|
Saxophonist Jeremy Powell describes his music as "a fresh harmonic blend of Herbie Hancock and Robert
Glasper with some modern gospel undertones, at times laid over a rhythmic bed of Flying Lotus-esque loops,
but always with a relaxed and soulful twist".
"Saxophonist Jeremy Powell is at home in any musical genre, but he's an experimenter whose playing is
always deep, yet on the edge." - Hot House

TOBIAS MEINHART QUARTET
Tobias Meinhart, tenor sax;
Yago Vasquez, piano;
Matt Aronoff, bass;
Jesse Simpson, drums
|
|
Two years after releasing his highly acclaimed 2015 album, Natural Perception (ENJA Records), Tobias
Meinhart returns with his ponderous and compelling sophomore release, Silent Dreamer.
This album is decidedly darker than his debut, both in tone and in subject matter, as Tobias makes use of a
tonal palette more familiar to brooding alternative and popular music: lumbering straight 8th grooves,
synthesizers, effects pedals, Rhodes and electric bass all coalesce underneath Tobias’s melodic modern jazz
sensibility to form a single sound that is all at once engaging, grating and cathartic.
