Christian Prommer recently posted, "a true from day‑one supporter of my music since the Fauna Flash, Trüby Trio and Drumlesson days. Handed him the very first vinyl test pressing of my upcoming double album 'Rhythmic Nocturne' (worldwide release: July 10th) - so was he talking about YATM?
The short answer was no as he was giving M.Gilles Peterson a copy of said new album in Berlin (at the time of the Berlin Jazz Festival) but he could have been: particularly by the time of Drumlesson (saw him at Big Chill for a live set with with cover versions of Techno classics) and even the Christian Prommer remix of 'Winter Wonderland' by Shirley Horn - see review HERE).
In fact, there's a bit of a connection with that 'The First Ladies' (of Jazz) collection (Ella, Zena, Billie, Sarah et al) as the single, 'Tryin' Times' has taken a decade to re-imagin Roberta Flack's 1969 classic protest song and WOW! it's been worth it as 1. it's a powerful reminder of what the music industry is capable of 2. It's brilliant as Ms. Hoerwarth is the perfect voice for this track in its new guise "a modern jazz-rave invocation [with]. Prommer loops, fragments and deconstructs elements of the original recording, amplifying its message as a deep, dark yet urgent call for unity in a fractured world".
The album is going to be a must for fans of all Prommer's previous projects and "St. Germain, Floating Points and refined grooves at all speeds" in-between: put it on repeat.
