JazzKLUB / Ill Considered - NOSPR

A band of experienced British instrumentalists and producers, whose albums are meeting places for rhythmic machinery in the style of “Miles electric” and masters of spiritual jazz such as those published by the Impulse! label. However, the music created by Emre Ramazanoglu’s drumming engine, Liran Donin’s superheavy bass and Idris Rahman’s domineering saxophone, is not comparable with any other. The trio balances its characteristically aggressive pieces with more subtle soundscapes, full of space and sometimes delicately infused with a Middle Eastern flavour. Additionally, the electronic effects they gladly use lend the group’s sound, thick already, an even greater density.
