Description
Nite Bjuti (pronounced night beauty) is a US-based, Afro-Caribbean, woman-led improvised experimental trio of vocalist Candice Hoyes, GRAMMY-nominated sound chemist Val Jeanty and bassist Mimi Jones - who weave together multiple strands of storytelling using voice, bass, electro percussion, turntables, Haitian drums, dance and visual projections.
The trio was formed in 2018 after Hoyes performed an Afrofuturism concert at Jazz at Lincoln Center where she is a lecturer, inviting Jeanty to play and collaborate.This performance revealed a powerful chemistry that led to extended studio improvisations and an invitation to Mimi Jones - a fellow Berklee professor with Jeanty.
All 11 tracks on this album are entirely improvised. "The sound is completely authentic and we're actually making it on the spot," explains Jeanty. The results from this purely improvisatory approach, along with the musicians' individual skills and contemplative methodology is an inimitable soundworld realised in a record rooted by Jones' and Jeanty's basslines and rhythms, with Hoyes' cerebral vocal lines skilfully cutting through.
Nite Bjuti is a captivating jazz record, honouring the traditions of musical improvisation and which is deeply respectful to the subjects and narratives it takes inspiration from - an important new entry to the jazz canon.
