The Embassadors
THE EMBASSADORS
COPTIC DUB
Nonplace / Groove Attack
VÖ 20.11.2009
 
 
Für das zweite Album der Embassadors produzierten Hayden Chisholm und Burnt Friedman 8 dubmässige Jazz Instrumentals. Super-Konzentriert gespielt von  Root 70 Musikern wirken diese psychedelischen One Shot Each Take - Tracks wie die spirituelle Essenz des äthiopischen Jazz und Alice Coltrane der 70iger Jahre, allerdings im majestätischen Sound subtiler Studiotechnik.
 
Hayden Chisholm über Coptic Dub:
"The Heaps Dub production of Root70 was a drastic turn away from the jazz we had played until then and with the Embassadors I wanted to continue this exploration. To those who were wondering why I had left the sacred jazz isle I asked: Why must we constantly change the groove and feel when everything around us is changing anyway? Why must the horns always build lead voices and solos instead of blending inside the textures? Why the angst of bare simplicity? Why the melodic and rhythmic superabundance at the expense of consistent accuracy? And mein Gott what more is there to prove?
 
All of the pieces on this album shared a long genesis. They were worked on in the course of several studio sessions in New York and Germany in the last few years. After I had finished recording all the instruments I left the final steps in the arrangements and mix entirely over to Burnt Friedman who took them all to new shores, sometimes beyond my own recognition- I expected nothing less. It´s easy to fall when there´s no landing."
