Ivo Neame - Moksha [EDN1108] 2018 FLAC met herstelbestanden. 

Jazz om je vingers bij af te likken. Ik heb dit album vandaag met in ear headphones geluisterd in het openbaar vervoer. HEERLIJK! Lekker weer een album van Edition Records, hopelijk mogen er nog vele volgen. Ik wens jullie allen een fijn paasweekend en dat er maar veel muzikale paaseitjes gevonden mogen worden :)

Dit album is nog maar net een week uit dus geen Nederlandse reviews te vinden. 

Beer and jazz usually go well together, but thank goodness Ivo Neame decided not to go into the family brewing business (Shepherd Neame). Not that he wouldn’t have been great at making beer; it’s just that, on balance, beer’s loss has been jazz’s gain: Neame is one of the UK’s very finest pianists, bandleaders and composers, and he keeps himself busy. Not long ago, he was treading the boards with his Quintet project, featuring Tori Freestone and Jim Hart. He is also the pianist in Jasper Hølby’s trio Phronesis, and works with Norwegian saxophonist Marius Neset. 

This new album, recorded last summer, features Neame’s Quartet, with a different line-up to all the other bands, but suffused with the same confident fire and passion we find in the others. His sound is bracingly modernist, characterized by complex uptempo rhythms, a hard, attacking approach to the keyboard, and a fluent, usually melodic style that occasionally breaks down into free-form improvisation, as in Moksha Music, where it then melts seamlessly back into the original form, with a shimmering wash of (I’m guessing) Nord keyboard.
