"Few bands in improvised music seem to generate more palpable sonic friction than Brandon Seabrook’s trio with Cooper-Moore and Gerald Cleaver. The group produces a seriously tactile, almost psychedelic sound: the gut-punch of drums, the rumbling twang of diddley-bow, and the slashing, brittle crunch of electric guitar. On Exultations, the trio’s 2020 debut album on Astral Spirits, these sounds coalesced into gritty, propulsive improvisations possessed of an almost three-dimensional physicality. Those rhythmic and melodic fragments came together with puzzle-piece logic, like an aural Rubik’s cube, but one that never stopped moving. On the trio’s hotly anticipated follow-up In the Swarm, the group has broadened its timbre with Seabrook’s banjo and Cleaver’s electronics, and they’ve upped the ante with some thrilling post-production maneuvers that either further expand the sonic palette or turn the modus operandi upside down"

GIFTS QUARTET
DAVE DOUGLAS, trumpet. JON IRABAGON, tenor sax. RAFIQ BATHIA, guitar and electronics. IAN CHANG, drums and electronics.
From July 14th to 22nd
Trumpeter and composer Dave Douglas presents a new version of a recent project: Gifts Quartet featuring Jon Irabagon (tenor sax), Rafiq Bhatia (guitar) and Ian Chang (drums and electronics).
Featuring new, original, energy music-influenced compositions from Douglas, as well as inspirations from the life and music of Charles Lloyd. Gifts Quartet reflects on the wisdom, vision, and positivity of the composer and saxophonist in an innovative way, notably exploring Lloyd's fascination with the music of Billy Strayhorn. The quartet’s sound focuses on song form, emphasizing textural and timbral enhancement in service of each song.
Douglas has long considered his work to be a projection of societal possibility, where a musical ensemble is an allegory for how social justice can be enacted and promoted. In ways both explicit and implicit, Douglas' music speaks to the many struggles to be overcome in currently prevailing systems.
Gifts Quartet envisions a new sense of interaction through expression of song form, using sound and atmosphere as a field of action. develop and capture an improvisational process, the four musicians will realize their vision for the first time.
Gifts Quartet will tour Europe in July 2024, presenting a fresh take on the format that Douglas has featured extensively over the last times.
DAVE DOUGLAS QUARTET
DAVE DOUGLAS, trumpet. MARTA WARELIS, piano. NICK DUNSTON, bass. JOEY BARON, drums.
From 7th to 17th November
When Dave Douglas discovered the 15 biblical psalms of the “Song Of Ascents” for himself, the New York trumpeter and composer was immediately fascinated by the spiritual depth of this pilgrimage songbook. The fact that there are a total of 16 pieces of Douglas’ psalm settings has to do with the fact that he began writing without, however, having even read the psalms in their entirety. And he noticed this after the first piece was finished. While composing, he then also realised that he wanted to play his “Song Of Ascents” with a new quintet – with him and pianist Marta Warelis, bassist Nick Dunston and his old buddy on drums, Joey Baron. While in previous bands of the trumpeter not only but often also his fellow musicians were in the spotlight, this time it is different: The three band members collectively frame Douglas with their instruments with his radiant, crystalline trumpet playing and embed it in a spiritual, almost sacred environment to express confidence, trust and devotion with their intuitive interplay.
Sponsored by Marc Ribot, we have met The Americojones Experience. We liked his music and his attitude and it seems that he also liked us, so, and without further ado, we launched ourselves to promote these cute and necessary characters!
The Americo Jones Experience is a rock'n'roll band from Mexico City's Chinatown, with Americo Jones on guitar and vocals, Sebastián Rojas on guitar, Máximo Hollander on bass and Raul Ponce on drums.
Pure raw talent, deranged youth and elegant nonconformity.
They began to play in various venues, mostly in bars and cantinas in downtown of Mexico City, earning a reputation for their loud, explosive gigs, full of life, mistakes and crazy dances. On May 1rst 2020 they released their first single "Heroína" from their debut album "Contradicciones", produced by Dr. Bona Bonson with their seventies punk sound.
On April 2nd 2021 they release "Viva la Muerte", from their second album "Animal del Demonio", produced by Hugo Quezada at Progreso Nacional in Mexico City with Gerardo Ponce playing the guitar on various tracks.
The album will be out later this year with a dirtier and more modern sound than ever.

En 2018 público su primer trabajo discográfico, Tangos de la Posverdad. Seguidamente en mayo de 2019 realizó una gira de conciertos por Europa incluyendo presentaciones en De Doelen en Rotterdam y la sala Bozar en Bruselas. Su siguiente disco editado Los Dopados, (2019) grabado en vivo en La Usina del Arte, con Fito Paez y Noelia Moncada de invitados, fue nominado a MEJOR DISCO EN VIVO DEL AÑO 2020, por los Premios Carlos Gardel.
Contrabajista, compositor, arreglista, director musical, Juan Pablo ha trabajado con Uri Caine, Richard Galliano, Stefano Bollani, Joe Lovano y Vinicius Dorin entre otros.

Juan Pablo Navarro es un contrabajista de difícil encasillamiento. Toca música clásica con orquests sinfónicas, jazz, o tango. En sus trabajos más personales viene enfocado en el tango. Su trabajo compositivo es realmente notable. Mauro Apicella LA NACION
Navarro, identificado con el lenguaje tradicional, hace tiempo que disfruta de la búsqueda, y sorprendió recientemente con su disco "Tangos de la Posverdad", en septeto con un sonido novedoso. Ricardo Salton, Revista Noticias
