JazzWorldQuest Showcase 2019 Update: Dave Rudolph Quintet(USA)- Resonance(2019)

Dave Rudolph Quintet(USA)-Atonement
Composer: Dave Rudolph
Album name: Resonance

Acoustically speaking, resonance is a condition that is created when sound is reflected between two objects and sets up a type of synchronous vibration, reinforcing the initial sound. The CD Resonance is a collection of musical explorations which focus on the concept of musical pairings and achieve this effect in different ways. The compositions sometimes present melodies between two instruments simultaneously or alternately, and scale down the instrumentation at key points to allow for improvised duets.
“My personal concept of resonance is that it is a significant connection that happens when someone reflects a better version of yourself back to you,” continues Dave. “Musically I wanted to make that happen with a lot of musical dialogue and interaction.”

NORWAY/BRAZIL/MOZAMBIQUE: Freedoms Trio - World Jazz Rock

Freedoms Trio - World Jazz Rock

Dear friends,

Freedoms Trio just came back from California where we performed at the 2019 NAMM Show in Anaheim as part of their official selection and also took the chance to record a nice outdoor performance in the Hollywood hills. We want to share some of the recorded material with you and hope you will enjoy it. :-)


Freedoms Trio features three musicians from three continents, three world artists on their respective instruments; guitarist Steinar Aadnekvam from Norway, bassist Rubem Farias from Brazil & drummer/singer Deodato Siquir from Mozambique. The band is based in Stockholm, Sweden and tours continuously worldwide & are available for booking for 2019 / 2020.

Freedoms Trio at NAMM 2019
FREEDOMS TRIO is a 'world jazz rock' group uniting three musicians from three continents. The band has released 2 albums with Losen Records (Oslo), most recently in 2018. The new album "Freedoms Trio II" has been praised by critics internationally and notably guitar legend Robben Ford strongly endorses the 'Freedoms Trio' in the new album liner notes. The band tours continously and has performed more than 120 concerts across Europe since 2015. "Mr. Aadnekvam dominates the rarefied space afforded to top-flight virtuoso guitarists. This music is, however, also informed by thunderous rumble of bass and drums, all of which makes it a uniquely expressive group.” - World Music Report (Canada) "Familiar in its aesthetic-groove-minded world-jazz but rare in the quality of the musicianship." - Jazztimes (UK) "Young genius, bursting with creativity." - Jazz Podium Magazine (Germany)

USA: Wheeler/Brecker/Taylor/Holland/DeJohnette - Double, Double You (USA)


Double, Double You

Canadian trumpeter Kenny Wheeler was both a major jazz composer and a soloist given to free flights, thriving on the creative tension between lyricism and fiery interplay. Musicians loved the challenges implied in his writing, as is apparent in every minute of this 1983 session. Wheeler and Michael Brecker make a very fine, mutually-inspiring frontline, and Double, Double You also draws upon several long-established creative relationships. Wheeler and Holland had been close musical associates since the 1960s. Holland and DeJohnette established themselves as one of the great rhythm sections in Miles Davis's band and on many ECM discs (including Kenny's Gnu High and Deer Wan). And Wheeler and Taylor were forever in each other's groups, at the time of this recording also playing in the trio Azimuth.
