Michael Feinberg, THE ELVIN JONES PROJECT

Michael Feinberg -][ – THE ELVIN JONES PROJECT –Mp3– [Sunnyside Communications, 2012] –

The classic John Coltrane Quartet of the 1960s was one of the most influential ensembles jazz has heard. The group’s influence has continued to spread in the world of contemporary jazz, as new generations of performers have trolled the Quartet’s catalog and those of its illustrious sidemen.

Twenty five year old bassist/bandleader Michael Feinberg was particularly inspired by the core of Coltrane’s rhythm section: drummer Elvin Jones. While he perused his favorite drummer’s catalog, Feinberg found himself drawn to the interplay the legendary percussionist had with a multitude of bassists. Feinberg soon discovered that his favorite bassists had had a significant musical relationship with Jones. The study of these relationships became the root of Feinberg’s project and subsequent recording: The Elvin Jones Project.

LISTEN TO EXCLUSIVE STREAMING TRACKS FROM AGEMO

In a bid to keep abreast of cutting edge technology, RareNoiseRecords has embraced the brave new world of the 3D60™ sound experience. The label’s first release to utilize the revolutionary system, which creates a surround-sound mix with the added dimension of the top in the listener’s headphones, is the two-album set Agemo by Bob Belden’s group Animation. Essentially a radical recasting of the six tracks from Animation’s 2010 RareNoise debut, Asiento (a document of a 2006 Animation performance at New York’s Merkin Hall), Agemo offers listeners a whole new perspective on the band’s interpretation of Miles Davis’ 1970 fusion landmark, Bitches Brew. This startling new take on Asiento brings listeners on stage, as it were, with the sounds of saxophonist Belden, trumpeter Tim Hagans, keyboardist Scott Kinsey, bassist Matt Garrison, turntablist DJ Logic and drummer Guy Licata swirling around them on renditions of “Pharoah’s Dance,” “Spanish Key,” “John McLaughlin,” “Sanctuary,” “Miles Runs the Voodoo Down” and the title track of Miles’ seminal work.

REVISITS BAND’S GROUNDBREAKING CONCEPTS FROM

THEIR GRAMMY NOMINATED BLUE NOTE ALBUMS

Animation - Asiento

Unconventional. Unheard of. Some might add unreal. Upon first listen, you’ll be struck by the startling freshness and flat-out nerve that have become hallmark sounds of Animation, the best rock & jazz mélange you’ve never heard of.

With two Grammy nominated Blue Note CDs, animation * imagination (1999) and re*animation LIVE! (2000), the group has raised the bar for experimental music, carrying with it infectious tinges of hip-hop, trip-hop, drum ‘n’ bass, fusion and whatever your own imagination might add with each new listen.

The journey continues with Asiento, the group’s long-overdue album to be released on the UK-based RareNoiseRecords. Spearheaded by music visionaries Bob Belden (producer/saxophone), Tim Hagans (trumpet) and Scott Kinsey (keyboard/synthesizer), as well as Matt Garrison (bass), Guy Licata (drums) and DJ Logic (turntables), Animation re-imagines the landmark 1969 Miles Davis release Bitches Brew.
