LP released: Dec 06, 2019
Vinyl LP pressing. Last summerÆs spellbinding album Zebra struck a chord with many listeners. Combining innovative production with an interest in music from around the globe û fourth world, Japanese avant-garde, minimalism, kosmische, dub, cosmic jazz and more û Zebra found Arp (AKA Alexis Georgopoulos) firing on all cylinders, drawing comparisons to Don Cherry, Midori Takada, Jon Hassell and Alice Coltrane and ultimately, made the best case yet for the polymath he is. If Zebra, the first album made primarily in his home studio, showed Georgopoulos blossoming as an arranger/producer, Ensemble û Live! emphasizes a different character û the sound of a group dynamic, of a vibe, of inspiration found in the moment û and how these songs work with 5 people playing them at the same time, together in a room. |
