Kris Davis - Diatom Ribbons (Live At The Village Vanguard) (2023) [Hi-Res]

“This album, which throws a wrench in the traditional jazz quartet format by adding a DJ and electronics, stands as a testament to the forward-thinking nature of the Vanguard and its willingness to embrace some of the new elements that are coming into the music.” “I like the idea of not allowing the group to feel too comfortable,” Davis explains. “So I intentionally chose Julian, who I’d played with in a duo setting many times and whose playing I admire. This new configuration challenged us to find a band sound while playing this new music, and I like that process of discovery.”
