 | NAIMA Bye Label : Cuneiform Records Year : 2016 Format : CD Style : Jazz Availability : In stock Price : 14.70 € - BUY | |
| Description : | If creating an unmistakable group sound is the ultimate goal of a jazz ensemble, the Spanish trio NAIMA is well on its way to securing a spot as one of the leading combos on the contemporary European scene. The Valencia-based electro-acoustic band has honed a dramatic, darkly romantic sound marked by astringent textures, arresting melodies, and tightly coiled rhythms. While the group has undergone several changes since coming together a decade ago, Naima has maintained the founding core of Ruiz and Torregrosa, who write and arrange the majority of the material together. Avoiding the jazz trio trope of a theme followed by a string of solos, they've concentrated on a group approach that often erases distinctions between soloist and accompanist. The ebb and flow of energy and finely calibrated inner dynamics, as well as their concern with melody and song sometimes brings to mind the trios of Vijay Iyer and Brad Mehldau and The Bad Plus, but in the hands of Naima, the results reach very different emotional terrain. The artful use of electronic effects and synthesizer adds an unusual element to the trio's sound, which flows from a collective ethos that 'is one of the key factors of Naima's music', says Ruiz. 'It is what gives the band its character and also exerts influence while we're writing new material. We use synthesizers as an extra instrument, amplifying our range of colors and intensities.' Ruiz and Torregrosa had a clear sense of musical mission from the beginning, writing original compositions and developing striking arrangements of songs by contemporary non-jazz artists like Depeche Mode, Elliott Smith, the Pixies and The Smiths. 'We were totally sure about what we were doing and where we were going', Ruiz recalls. 'We wanted to set up a jazz band which would have a sound and some song material closer to the music from groups of the last 30 years, which we grew up with.' Pursuant to that goal, BYE features two revelatory 'covers, Animal Chin, as performed by Jaga Jazzist and Smith's Can't Make A Sound. ENRIQUE RUIZ - piano, synths // LUIS TORREGROSA - drums // RAFAEL RAMOS SANIA - double bass | |
