Finally, we have made a decision. The Ist of August, an august occasion, the public release of the acclaimed New Zealand Jazz album Modal Behaviour. Be soothed with sensual sonorities and sinuous serendipities of human harmony, expertly expressed elegantly, authentically authored with authority and conviction by non-convicts. From gypsy jazz to Mount Cook jam, guitar ballads to gorgeous blues, Latin rock to lovely rhythms, Cuban montuno to Cuba Street musicality, Modal behaviour to mesmerising beauty, each individual chord is finely tuned to engage your ears and your mind with charm, pleasure, joy, great love, exhilarating excitement and seventh chords, additive rhythms and tactile technique serving you with musical delight at every turn of this impeccably modelled modal masterpiece of sonic art.
At once ordinary, while capturing a few moments of musical collaboration, the musicians on these tracks take a few moments out from their lives, to record melody, in the carefully made, and expertly crafted Matrix Studios in Wellington's Mount Cook, and unique, each track works its magic through the craft and training of local musicians, no inflated egos here, just music made for music. Please listen and enjoy.
