About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Jazz
- Description: Richard Koch did it again! One of the most independent and unmistakable jazz trumpeters of our time is back with his fourth studio album. After three quartet records, he now presents us with a new work as bandleader in a new quintet "Rays Of Light". It will be released on 04.07.2025 by Fun in the church.In terms of instrumentation and instrumentation, this acoustic work could have been performed in the 19th century. We hear Fabiana Striffler on violin, Valentin Butt on accordion, Andreas Lang on double bass, Nora Thiele on frame drums and Richard Koch on trumpet. However, Koch's compositions are interspersed with the transatlantic history of pop music over the last 150 years from the American Folk Book to Internet radio - and back to the village festival in his adopted home of Wustermark, from where he can always travel quickly by regional train to the jazz capital of Berlin. At a time when the transatlantic relationship is threatening to tip politically, Koch's "Rays Of Light" are just the right thing to counter the whole madness culturally as a European musician. After all, it is particularly evident in music how our cultural DNA is similar and has always influenced each other. Just as all kinds of European folk and salon music, crossed with Afro-American and oriental influences - influenced by Christianity, Islam and voodoo - have given rise to a magical, earth-spanning, creole music jazz. And we haven't even talked about Bach, Dylan or the Beatles yet. Koch's pieces in the year 2025 cannot be assigned to a specific region or tradition either It is music that is just as suited to the Austrian Alps as it is to Provence or New Orleans. It is understandable in both urban and rural settings. It incorporates Balkan elements such as klezmer, we hear oriental percussion in it's origins, and the double bass adds a good dose of swing and bop from the nervous metropolise

Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression. This LP version comes pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Album Tracks 1. My Own Summer (Shove It) 2. Lhabia 3. Mascara 4. Around the Fur 5. Rickets 6. Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) 7. Lotion 8. Dai the Flu 9. Headup 10. MX
