Sonata Islands Kommandoh - Zeuhl Jazz (2018)

Our project is dedicated to the spirit of Magma’s music.This mythical French band, under the direction of its founder Christian Vander, starting from 1970 offered the listener a “celestial” (“zeuhl” in Kobaïan language) music, even though those skies might have been crystal clear or ominously dark. Each of our pieces tries to reflect this approach in composing and playing, with references to progressive avant ­rock, modal jazz, R and B and eastern folk music.
