Description
The quintet Nevi, meaning 'variety', was founded in 2018 and plays music with influences from contemporary jazz, classical and world music. A superb outfit consisting of hugely talented musicians/composers, Nevi offer here a roller- coaster ride of immeasurably enjoyable music.
"Beyond the Russian pianist Andrei Kondakov and drummer Aaleksandr Bozhenko drums, the other members making up Nevi are of Turkish descent. Turkey's largest city, Istanbul, served as the group's lieu of recording and consequently makes up the title of the record. The music on Istanbul Edition varies from exciting and rhythmically driven ("Africa") to contemplative and elegiac ("Idea"), at times covering the entire range within the sequencing of two tracks. Piano and guitar feed off of each other's impulses throughout the album, giving the trumpet a more ornamental role that ties the music together sonically with the mannerisms of a motif. On "Requiem for KC" guitarist Onur Aymergen channels Kurt Rosenwinkel phraseology and tone before switching to a more traditional fusion sound on a passage of menacing changes in "Entering The Bar. Each member ontributes a significant composition to this date, making it a truly collaborative and inspired venture". - All About Jazz
