Lee KonitzやBrad Mehldau、Kurt Rosenwinkel、Lionel Loueke、Ben Wendel、Seamus Blakeら錚々たる面子とも共演経験のあるドラマーとして知られるKarlだが、通算7枚目となる本作は、LAの鬼才、ルイス・コールによるユニット、ノウワーへのジャズ・サイドからの回答ともいえる、ジャズのみならず、幅広いリスナーに聴かれるべきアルバムだ。
Described as an "enchanting crossroads between cosmic pop and hypnotic jazz", the music of drummer and composer Karl Jannuska is truly original. Born and raised in the Canadian prairies, Karl has been based in Paris, France for over twenty years. He explores the notion of duality in all its forms in this, his seventh album. Earthy grooves underline ethereal melodies which feature the warm and cristalline voice of Cynthia Abraham. Acoustic and electric sounds weave together performed by several of France's most in-demand musicians (Tony Paeleman, Christophe Panzani and Pierre Perchaud). Energetic and meditative the two faces of Karl's music live in harmony, inspired by the past while keeping an eye on a constantly evolving sonorous landscape.
