NEFERTITI
LIVE IN PARIS (BERTHOLD RECORDS)
The Nefertiti Quartet's new album LIVE IN PARIS celebrates the French quartet's tenth anniversary. The music is a scintillating whirl of traditional, polyrhthmic and experimental jazz, played by four excellent musicians.
The quartet's name Nefertiti gives a pointer to the band's soundscape. It is inspired by the 1968 Miles Davis Album, one of whose tracks, with the same name, was written by Wayne Shorter in which the usual instrumental roles are reversed.
The horns repeat the melody whilst the rhythm section improvises underneath. After ten years the quartet, which won the 2019 Euroradio Jazz Competition, continues to interact and blend, creating its own exciting and groundbreaking music.
