JazzKLUB / Ambrose Akinmusire's Owl Song - NOSPR

Reportedly, as a teenager, Ambrose Akinmusire used to play along to Bill Frisell's records on his trumpet. Years later, he invited his mentor to his own ensemble - a man who managed to create a separate, albeit unnamed genre of music from jazz, avant-garde, and Americana. Akinmusire himself, though feeling like a fish in water in a classically jazz environment, has been reaching beyond stylistic boundaries for years, delving into aesthetics as diverse as refined contemporary chamber music or emotionally charged hip-hop. His pyrotechnic technique and unlimited genre-purist imagination result in the trumpeter's improvisational possibilities being practically endless - yet in practice, they are always balanced by flawless form sensibility. Critics attempting to describe the music of this trio using conventional criteria will surely face a challenge! An exciting encounter of giants from the very top.
