MICHAEL FORMANEK ELUSION QUARTET
As Things Do
Michael Formanek: Double Bass
Kris Davis: Piano
Tony Malaby: Tenor and Soprano Saxophones
Ches Smith: Drums and Vibes
Buy on Bandcamp: https://michaelformanekintakt.bandcamp.com/
With his extensive artistic biography, Michael Formanek is one of the most outstanding figures in American jazz, as a composer, as a bassist in ensembles, and as a soloist. The fact that the bassist has been an integral part of the creative music scene for several decades speaks for his creativity and versatility. Now Michael Formanek presents the long-awaited second album with his groundbreaking Elusion Quartet, which brings together four highly acclaimed musicians from the New York jazz scene – pianist Kris Davis, saxophonist Tony Malaby and drummer Ches Smith. “As Things Do is yet another testament to Formanek’s encyclopedic conception.[...] Michael Formanek is that rare musician who, all the while retaining absolute integrity and focus, can let the music range where it will: in his own words, letting things go where they’re going to go, As Things Do” writes Alexander Hawkins in the liner notes.

Umbra is the new album by pianist, composer, and electronic musician Elias Stemeseder and drummer, composer, and producer Christian Lillinger. As a core duo, they are planning a long-term series of releases, each with guest musicians playing a key role. “Their works explore the principles of time and space, growing from quiet melodies into broad statements. On Umbra, Stemeseder and Lillinger continue to expand their palette, bringing together an eclectic group of collaborators – New York based musicians Brandon Seabrook, DoYeon Kim, Peter Evans, and Russell Hall – to build off of their ideas, combining the textures of strings and percussion to weave together a visceral sonic tapestry”, writes Vanessa Ague in the liner notes and adds: “Each piece on the album offers its own careful examination of sound, peering into every fleeting moment to unearth some new texture or timbre that’s hiding within each instrument.”
