Joe Armon-Jones (Ezra Collective), de vaandeldrager van de genre-overschrijdende Londense jazz, brengt nieuw album 'All The Quiet (Part II)' uit.
Uitgebracht op Armon-Jones’ eigen label, Aquarii Records, verkent All The Quiet (Part II) wederom nieuwe muzikale en sonische werelden. De in Londen gevestigde toetsenist, producer, songwriter en bandleider wordt daarbij bijgestaan door een indrukwekkende lijst van speciale gasten, waaronder Asheber, Greentea Peng, Wu Lu, Hak Baker en Yazmin Lacey.
Naar eigen zeggen werd hij volop geïnspireerd door de radicale producties van dubmeester King Tubby en dub soundsystems tout court: “I got really into exploring the sound world of dub. Taking that process and applying it to jazz, funk, and all those other musics that I really love”.
Beluister het album en kom op 26 oktober naar AB om hem live aan het werk te zien!
- ★★★★ “Welds funky shades of Herbie Hancock's fusion era with a heavy dub influence and much post-production tomfoolery.” Mojo
- “Boundary-pushing future-jazz. Intricate, intoxicating and nodding in multiple directions often simultaneously” Electronic Sound
- “Joe Armon-Jones tantalisingly displays a new darker side to his introspective compositions” Jazzwise
- “The winning blend of soul, funk, Afrobest, hip-hop and electronica has a personal imprint, with pleating subtlety and restraint in places, but the input of vocalist/MCs such as Asheber, and Goya Gumbani who grace Kingfisher and Eye Swear respectively, is impressive” Echoes
- “It’s in his solo work that the purest form of Armon-Jones’ vision shines though, combining elements of jazz, dub and the more atmospheric ends of UK electronic music his first solo album in six years represents his most ambitious statement to date” Music Radar
- “Joe Armon-Jones paints a gorgeous sonic portrait in composition, production, and sound.” All Music
