Description
Storyville Records presents, 'New Views', by jazz bassist, composer and world-leading music brain scientist Peter Vuust in collaboration with the dynamic ensemble of Aarhus Jazz Orchestra. The genesis of 'New Views' traces back to 2021, when Aarhus Jazz Orchestra approached Peter Vuust with the idea of touring while he spoke on the intricate workings of the brain during jazz listening and performance. Originally intending to intersperse classic big band arrangements with scientific talks, Vuust and director/arranger Nikolai Bogelund soon recognised the potential for a more engaging experience by showcasing Vuust's original compositions.
Working alongside arranger and trumpet player Jesper Riis, Bogelund crafted a signature set comprising Vuust's compositions alongside three new songs tailored for this occasion. The result was a two-hour show that not only entertained but also educated audiences on the intricacies of music cognition.
'New Views' features ten of Vuust's compositions, from the energizing afrobeat groove of "Marrakech" to the tender ballad "Young Blue Eyes" dedicated to Vuust's son, the album traverses a spectrum of moods and rhythm. Tracks like "High Five" and "Giving Birth" highlight the virtuosity of the ensemble, while the album concludes with the contemplative "The End of a Perfect Day".
