ASRA (CH)

NOCTURNAL JOURNEY

This is the title of the debut album recorded in September 2022 at the Jazzcampus Basel. In addition to publishing their very first album on the German label XJazz! Music (Berlin), ASRA had the chance to work in collaboration with producer Michael Haves from Berlin, bringing songwriter and bandleader Catherine Tang's musical interpretation of the night to life.

Over two years, the group has worked and discussed intensively their first musical ideas up to the final studio recording. The Basel based group, joined by Ruben Kilchling (as), Joseph Bijon (g), Paul Pattusch (b) and Lucas Zibulski (dr) invites the listeners to immerse themselves in a musical world using sound landscapes that oscillate between American and European jazz as well as pop moments - encouraging wandering thoughts through warm acoustic sounds and glimpses of electroacoustics. A fresh footprint of a young quintet on their way artistic independence within the contemporary jazz world.

In times of increasing musical devaluation, ASRA places emphasis on the physical release of their music on vinyl and CD, creating a visible and tangible counterpart to all the love, work and joy that the album embodies.

Eriksson Kaner - Sascha Create (UK)

Producer and pianist Eriksson Kaner joins forces with drummer Sascha Create to bring you Ithaca : their debut project consisting of Alex Blake on guitar (Project Karnak, Jaz Karis, Arlo Parks), Hugo Piper on bass (Ego Ella May, Conor Albert), and Kaidi Akinnibi on saxophone (Tom Misch, Black Midi, Blue Lab Beats). Kaner and Sascha formed their collaboration after a recording session turned into a jam, and those ideas blossomed into an idiosyncratic sound combining their collective jazz and classical backgrounds. The result, as exhibited on their 2021 Vinyl release of the same name, is the cinematic blend of Kaner's hauntingly beautiful songwriting and Sascha's hypnotic syncopated drums, punctuated with soaring saxophone lines.
