“J.A.S.S. challenges, celebrates and, in its own way, defines the spirit of jazz. It could be one of the bands that will play a prominent role in moving jazz forward in its latest stage of evolution and hopefully will prevent this great music from dying the death that it has reportedly been dying for the past 50 years.”
– Terrell Holmes, The New York City Jazz Record
J.A.S.S., a pun and acronym, is the name of a quartet comprised of drummer John Hollenbeck, saxophonist Alban Darche, trombonist Samuel Blaser and bassist Sébastian Boisseau, which also recalls the Original Dixieland Jass Band, the group credited with the very first jazz recording way back in 1917 or simply the name of centuries-old popular card game in Switzerland and Austria.
All four members are among the most inventive and exciting players and composers on the scene: John Hollenbeck has four Grammy nominations; Alban Darche is the leader of several bands including Le Gros Cube, a big band featuring the finest jazz talents in France; Sébastien Boisseau is a renowned double bass player in Europe and jointly runs the French jazz label Yolk Records; Samuel Blaser enriches the raw impetuousness of avant-garde jazz with the proven sophistication of ageless classical forms and has associated with many great artists, including Swiss percussion legend Pierre Favre. It's no surprise that Rene Laanen of USA Trombone Online has called Blaser "one of today’s finest trombonists". They have displayed their first-call skills on their self-titled debut.
This collective quartet keeps a delicate balance between its four musicians, emphasizing the organic highly melodic flow within its compact, well-constructed compositions. Boisseau often plays his bass like a guembri in Gnawa music, while Hollenbeck uses the space to intermingle airy Brazilian percussion. The two horns were powerful and sophisticated, but also funny, and never overstated. It was the intelligent tripping of a group with its very own signature, which still has more of it in the can.
Every song on J.A.S.S. has something that will catch the listener by surprise. And given what each member brings to the table, that’s not surprising.
2012年，源于对爵士音乐的热爱，三位极具才华的青年走到了一起，组成了Dock in Absolute乐队。成员皆是学院派的职业音乐家，分别是打击乐手Michel Meis、贝斯手David Kintziger和钢琴家Jean-Philippe Koch。乐队主要演绎钢琴手Jean-Philippe的原创曲目，作品完美融合了前卫爵士、古典乐、摇滚乐以及电影音乐，因此带来独具特色、情绪饱满、充满旋律的开放式爵士。
With a shared love of jazz, Dock in Absolute combine various styles of progressive Jazz, classical, electric, film music and rock, playing the pianist’s own compositions and co-created their unique jazz style in 2012. Dock in Absolute is made up of 3 professional musicians having studied at the Berklee College of Music Boston, Codarts University of Arts Rotterdam, Hochschule für Musik Saarbrücken, including Michel Meis (percussion), David Kintziger (bass) and Jean-Philippe Koch (piano).
这三名才华横溢的青年音乐家将不断突破音乐流派的界限，持续探索和创造声波可能性，为爵士乐领域注入特殊且鲜活的力量。
Their fresh approach to jazz allowed them to push boundaries, and to explore the potential of new unique wave of sounds while adding strength to the jazz field.
Dock In Absolute also brings his new album out, recorded at the Bauer Studios, under the Label CAM JAZZ.
The trio presented its music to many Festivals and venues including the Hong Kong International Jazz Festival, the Beishan International Jazz Festival, the Brussels Jazz Marathon, the Blues’n Jazz Rallye Luxembourg, the Blues Express, Sibiu Jazz Festival, Jazzit Fest Torino, the Yokohama Jazz Promenade Festival Japan, Luxembourg Jazz Meeting, Paris Jazz Festival à la Cité, Shenzhen Jazz Festival China, Shanghai JZ, Peikin DDC, Ploiesti Hot Jazz Summit, Berlin B-Flat, …
评价/PRESS
A very disciplined outfit, there was a baroque underpinning to Koch’s compositions wedded to an indie rock feel. - The New-York City Jazz Record
Its music is sparkling, varying, forceful, pressing, rich in twists and turns in mood: from lyrical to unrestrainable, from wild to graceful, from virtuosic and crystalline to assertive and dramatic, from subdued to airy and demonstrative. - CAM JAZZ
What’s immediately striking about the music that comes out of this trio is how formidably certain it is. An album packed with fascinating composition as well as terrific playing. - Brian Morton
Abrupte Tempowechsel, harte Pausen, erstaunliche Akzentuierungen und ausgefeilte Dynamikbögen treffen auf schwelgerische Melodien, kleine repetitive Motive und starke Soli. - WORT LUXEMBURG
