Jim Funnell’s Word Out

M/House of Jazz uzstāsies pianista un komponista Džima Fannela projekts “Word Out”, kurā post-bop valoda sastopas ar funk, Afro-Latin, fusion un klasisko mūziku.

Word Out mūzika balstās melodiskā, ritmiski aktīvā un brīžiem rotaļīgā neo-bop pieejā. Kompozīcijās jūtamas atsauces uz dažādiem muzikāliem un literāriem avotiem, no Rumi un Rilkes līdz Baham, Bēthovenam, Šostakovičam, Thelonious Monk, Bill Evans un Ahmad Jamal.

Projekta skanējums ir vienlaikus pieejams un daudzslāņains un ved no modernā straight-ahead jazz līdz fusion teritorijai. Word Out sastāvā dažādos koncertos un ierakstos piedalījušies mūziķi no ASV, Eiropas un Japānas, katrai performancei piešķirot savu balsi.

Koncerta sastāvs:

• Jim Funnell – klavieres

• Shimon Gambourg – kontrabass

• Jeff Boudreaux – sitaminstrumenti

• Akiko Horii – perkusijas

M/House of Jazz will feature Jim Funnell’s Word Out—a project by pianist and composer Jim Funnell in which the post-bop style meets influences from funk, Afro-Latin, fusion, and classical music.

Word Out’s music is rooted in a melodic, rhythmically dynamic, and at times playful neo-bop approach. The compositions feature references to various musical and literary sources, ranging from Rumi and Rilke to Baham, Beethoven, Shostakovich, Thelonious Monk, Bill Evans, and Ahmad Jamal.

The project’s sound is both accessible and multi-layered, ranging from modern straight-ahead jazz to the realm of fusion. Musicians from the U.S., Europe, and Japan have participated in various concerts and recordings with Word Out, lending their own voice to each performance.
