| Hypercolor "Self Titled"  Hypercolor is a collaborative jazz-rock unit out of the new generation of Downtown improvisers.Guitarist Eyal Maoz, bassist James Ilgenfritz and drummer Lukas Ligeti collide their multifarious interests into one another like a post-modern demolition derby, pulling from the wreckage a sound that is as intricate as it is aggressive. The NYC-based trio combines avant-jazz, new music, no wave, African and Israeli traditions, holding its opposing urges in an electrifying tension that is both melodic and deconstructive. "We wanted to combine reckless abandon with interesting, complex structures to create something that was at once punk and rigorous academic music, " explains Ilgenfritz. Hypercolor's eponymous debut album will be released on January 20 2015 on John Zorn's Tzadik label. write your comments about the article :: © 2014 Jazz News :: home page |
