AHMED- WE JAZZ FESTIVAL, Helsinki (FI)

 

Pat Thomas: piano Seymour Wright: saxophone Joel Grip: double bass Antonin Gerbal: drums The quartet visits and (re)thinks Ahmed Abdul-Malik's compositions and the process potential in them. Through his compositions they re-imagine and re-synthesize, moving from what they know into newly creative space. “[Ahmed] continues to prove they’re one of the most advanced jazz bands on the planet, folding the Arabic bop of Ahmed Abdul Malik into dissonant blocks of sound.” Stewart Smith, The Wire 02/12 concert @ We Jazz Festival, Helsinki (FI) INFOS
