Description
'No Rush!' is the ninth studio recording of the Andy Emler MegaOctet, a small, big band of musicians in the form of an exceptional laboratory of human alchemy and sound.
"No Rush…! Let's take our time, listen, and compose." For Andy Emler, this moment of intense loneliness (Covid lockdown) was the occasion to listen to 20th Century Music (Arnold Schönberg, Witold Lutoslawsky, György Ligeti, Maurice Ohana, Philippe Manoury, Tristan Murail, Bernard Cavanna, etc.), followed by an intense phase of inspired composing. The result is a suite composed especially for nine virtuoso musicians, including the return of return of guitarist Nguyên Lê who participated in the first version of MegaOctet in 1989.
Once again, Andy Emler is here as pianist, composer, arranger, director, and conductor; the catalyst of inspiration, and the energy and enthusiasm of the participating musicians. No Rush! takes its time. It is architectural, adventures, full of passion, humour, songfulness. A benchmark for contemporary orchestral jazz writing by any measure!
