Expect hard hitting, edgy, urban electro-acoustic jazz from Atzmon’s superb ensemble. Combining bebop with middle-eastern influences, new music and electronica, Orient House create a musical landscape like no other outfit around on the UK jazz scene today.
Drawing on jazz, electronica, Arabic music and the sounds of the city, the new album is a potent melting pot of 21st century sounds taking the listener to a space beyond words. Shifting from jazz noir and Arabic flavoured grooves to heavy metal bebop it's music for the heart and the head and is the sound of a band running full steam into the future.
Gilad Atzmon saxophones, clarinet and electronics, Frank Harrison keyboards and electronics, Yaron Stavi double & electric bass and Asaf Sirkis drums.
".....the fifth album of the Orient House Ensemble finds Atzmon discovering the power of understatement... The individuality of the music is extraordinary."
**** Alan Brownlee, MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS
Born in Israel in 1963, Gilad Atzmon had his musical training at the Rubin Academy of Music, Jerusalem. Until 1994 he was a producer-arranger for various Israeli dance & rock projects, performing in Europe and the USA playing ethnic Jewish soul music. He recorded for Ofra Haza, Yeuda Poliker and many others. He also toured with Memphis Slim and supported many international jazz names such as Jack DeJohnette, Michel Petrucciani or Richie Beirach. Coming to the UK in 1994, Atzmon recovered an interest in playing the music of the Middle East that had been in the back of his mind for years. He founded the Orient House Ensemble in London and started re-defining his own roots in the light of political reality. Also a prolific and often controversial writer, Atzmon's essays are widely published. His novels 'Guide to the Perplexed' and 'My One and Only Love' have been translated into 24 languages all together.
Gilad Atzmon's music has moved towards a cultural hybrid. As a bandleader and multi-instrumentalist (soprano, alto, tenor & baritone saxes, clarinet, sol, zurna & flutes) he amazes listeners with his powerful personal style combining great bebop artistry and Middle-Eastern roots in a sophisticated, sometimes ironical manner. A "local jazz giant" (The Guardian) in the UK, Atzmon has been hailed as "an independent and unruly spirit in turbulent evolution", "a master of dynamics and the slow-build, mixing lyricism with hoarse, Coltranesque squalls" or simply "a revelation". His Orient House Ensemble has toured all over the world and has released four previous albums. Their latest release "musiK" (2005) has been voted "Best Jazz Album of the Year" by Time Out magazine and was nominated for the BBC Jazz Awards. The Evening Standard stated: "This album feels like a spell in a nightclub at the edge of oblivion."
Speaking about his new album "Refuge", Atzmon says: "Peace is nowhere near. Every other day a new conflict comes to life. The world is becoming more and more hostile. Music has become our refuge. Music ist not a messenger, it is actually the message. Music is the true Being in Time." A mature and fascinating statement oscillating between oriental-colored sadness and melancholic jazz balladry, "Refuge" is an album filled with truth, energy, wisdom, peace and beauty. Although freshly speckled with fusion, Latin and electronic sounds, it presents the ensemble's talents at their most soulful and expressive. This is a big one. |
