The ambitious new double-disc project Paradigm Shift from London-based US bassist, composer and producer Michael Janisch sees the Whirlwind Recordings founder enter the spotlight with his multi-level approach to composition and performance. Janisch continues to garner enthusiastic critical acclaim for his mastery of both double and electric bass, and with this expansive new album he strengthens his reputation as one of the preeminent bassist/bandleaders of his generation working in contemporary, improvised music. This live quintet recording across two nights at Pizza Express Jazz Club, Soho (London) is an absorbing 90-minute blend of live and post-processed electro-acoustic music. The conceptual and dialogical coalescence of all fourteen tracks here clearly comes from within, influenced by a vivid synaesthetic awareness.

Review
"A highlight of Janisch's eventful career to date... the centerpiece of the album is the lengthy suite of the title track, which gives full vent to Janisch's ability as a writer who creates from the stance of a bold improviser, so much so that the music feels entirely 'lived in' and visceral..." - 4 Stars --Jazzwise Magazine

"Janisch s virtuosity is unquestioned. On Paradigm Shift he shows his own broad compositional soundscape and thematic grooves." --Jazz FM

"Michael Janisch s Paradigm Shift is one monster album. The movements, or sections, feature some of the best on-the-bandstand improvisations committed to disc in recent times." --Bebop Spoken Here
