Jazz and Classical (Avant-garde Jazz)
Kabir Sehgal, Grammy Winning producer and bestselling Author, (Arturo O'Farrel, Ted Nash), is quoted to say: "Cubism is seminal and salient, curious and captivating. Makes you think and feel, on a whole new level." This title refers to Picasso's artistic style, which in turn, has been influenced a great deal by the concept of higher dimensionality, and how it would affect the visual perplexity of of objects. Much like visual art, music creates perplexing dimensional worlds within the listener's mind. Kobi Arad Band, featuring Ray MacNaight on drums and Bobby Macclough on Upright Bass - has taken Jazz standards to their exreme angular frontier, and views them from higher dimensional bird's eye. Some complex (Donna Lee, Giant Steps) and some straightforward (BLue Monk), all standards are receiving fresh new interpretation. Any part of a standard could be tackled at any given point, without needing to "reach" in the time axis. Various structural (intervalic, rhythmic, melodic, harmonic) elements are be addressed regardless if its their "correct" place in the song. In a flash of togetherness, the group sings in unison comprised of myriad sparks of rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic inspirations.
