Jazz from the Underground Nightclubs of Aotearoa Vol.2

supported by

John Fenton I can’t imagine a better launch pad for a new underground label than this. Trioglodyte + guests have shone a light into the basement nightclubs of Aotearoa. And now that the secret is out, the label must surely become a destination of choice for fearless, freedom-loving denizens. Nice job Jeff, Chris, Eamon, Kat, Bonnie & Brett

Trioglodyte with Crystal Choi/Paul Taylor/Bonnie Stewart Jazz From The Underground Nightclubs Of Aotearoa Vol 1 Kiwijahzz
Trioglodyte with Kat Tomacruz/Bonnie Stewart/Brett Adams Jazz From The Underground Nightclubs Of Aotearoa Vol 2 Kiwijahzz

Great joy abounds in these two missives from the New Zealand jazz underworld, recorded in a cellar in Auckland, both featuring saxophonist Jeff Henderson, bassist Eamon Edmundsen-Wells and drummer Chris O’Connor, plus guests. Though they make a good fist of scabrous flailing, the real fun is in their deliriously wonky covers of famous jazz tunes, delivered with subversive seriousness. On Vol 1, keyboardist Crystal Choi and electronicist Paul Taylor add Ra-worthy weirdness to a monstrously bullish charge through Miles Davis’s “Rated X”, with Henderson blowing furiously. On Vol 2 guitarists Brett Adams and Kat Tomacruz lend a bluesy twang. Seriously, though, can anyone resist a rockabilly romp through Coltrane’s “Impressions”? - Daniel Spicer - The Wire, Oct 2021

Always an absolute pleasure when Mr Braxton turns his unique sensibilities towards the ‘standard’ repertoire…this set looks monumental but feels anything but: alive, contemporary and compelling…if his music is new to you, please also check out ‘19 Standards’, ‘20 Standards’, ‘23 Standards’, ‘The Charlie Parker Project’ et al…you will be delighted.

Dizzy Atmosphere

This is a wonderful album! Dave Douglas is one of my heroes. He's more than a great musician. He has a vision for the music and a feeling for putting together a group which is unique. So, beside Joey Baron (another heavyweight and one of my absolute favourite drummers) he invited some young cats to this session. They play just great and make sure that this music sounds totally fresh, whilst at the same time being deeply rooted in the jazz tradition. Florian Arbenz

by William Parker

After a precision liftoff in Tabasco and setting a course to travel the space ways from planet to planet, the album peels away through a wormhole just past Saturn in the eponymous track Mayan Space Station to journey through time and space in Canyons of Light. eric F
