Description
Kairos Moment is the compelling debut album from saxophonist and composer Adam Waldmann and his quartet. Its mix of wistful, delicate, dreamy tunes (on which he plays tenor), busting vigour, generous melodic improvisation and ferocious grooves (on which he plays soprano) has been turning heads since it was posted on Waldmanns website earlier this year.
In fact, Jazzwise Magazine cites Kairos Moment as an utterly charming debut and Waldmann as one of their favourite discoveries of 2009 . While his Wayne Shorter-ish tone is sumptuous, and playing imaginative, as a composer, Waldmann is precociously talented. His song-like pieces and enticing melodies are clearly written with his band in mind encouraging a collective spirit.
As one critic summed up, Kairos 4tet is a team of equals responding to one another with unflagging inventiveness. Joining Waldmann is star bassist Jasper Høiby, drummer Jon Scott, and pianist Rob Barron, known for his work with Damon Albarn and Kanye West. The album also features the sweet flawless vocals of Swedish Emilia Martensson on Unresolved, undoubtedly one of the album s stand-out tracks. -
