We
know We Jazz Records but who'd have thought they'd be on the
forefront of the baroque revival!
Who knew that there is a baroque revival I here you say.! Well, over in France/Canada, they know that Pierre Chrétien and Ed Lister are on it with their OST inspired Cinephonic album 'Visions' (review HERE) so here's a German/Finnish/Austrian jazz trio take as Tilo Weber (drums), Petter Eldh (bass) of Koma Saxo and Elias Stemeseder (various keyboards/electronics).
And it's
not just the obvious harpsichord baroque as Elias can take us into
the synth of the future, really Like 'In Expitaxy' as its got
something of the Sun Ra about it.There's
eight tracks on this album so I wouldn't get too tied to the
'Baroque' tag as there's more to it than that.
This
is a fun trio jazz album that's not all dour or minimal; check out
the lively Barry Lynden romp of 'Entrope Nestled' or the wild flute
on 'Sacre Sacre' and sax on ' Soul Redoubled'.
All the compositions are by Weber and it's so far from a typical drummer led trio as all three migrate from their 'instruments' as it does get a little wild at times

As we do know
We Jazz, even thought this is far from the label's most recent
releases. the Big band of 'Agatha 2 (with Ricky-Tick
Records - see review HERE) and Antti Lötjönen's 'CircusCitadel - see review HERE), it's
got me and more please.
