GASON JAZZ cd 756- JOHAN BERKE - CONSISTENCY
GASON JAZZ cd 756
 |
The seventh release from Johan Berke Upstairs Five contains only previously unreleased original compositions by Berke, recorded May, 2013. The current line-up is premiered on this recording and contains phenomenal trumpet player Nils Janson, who also was featured on the Phono Suecia-release: Scope - music by Fredrik Nordström and Johan Berke (PSCD181 / 2009) (which saw the jazz quintet augmented by a brass quintet). Virtuoso electric guitar player Håkan Goohde is back after a break but the rhythm-section is, as usual, the creative tandem of Filip Augustson & Fredrik Rundqvist. Stylistically Consistency is somewhat more lyrical and traditional in its content than the previous, energetic live-album: OPEN DOOR (2012), with emphasis on melodic themes and solos on chord changes rather than the free improvisation within a larger framework of structure, which has been a big part of the groups other earlier releases: Upstairs Five (2004), The Cactus Suite (2006), double-cd Eastern Scene in Grey Minor (2008), and Nordic Scenes in Chromatic Blue (2011). Consistency is mostly a statement of the melodic inventivness this group possess!
