NEWS !

Jerboah 's new video is out!!

While we persistently contribute to the unprecedented destruction of nature, our concerns seem to dissipate the moment we set foot on a meadow or wander through a lush green forest.

Will this also be the case when we walk on the last piece of green nature left on earth?
This song speaks -with a touch of sarcasm- of human stupidity, of the soporific conformity in which we are immersed.



Jerboah has a full page feature in this month’s edition of Prog, one of the UK’s leading magazines about rock music!

Thanks to Eppyfest who booked us to play this summer and kick-started our British debut 🔥

"A wonderfully eclectic mixture of fusion and free jazz combined with issue-led art-pop"

"Jerboah’s instrumentation is highly unusual, Guitar and drums combine with the recorder and vocal talents of Brit Sarah Jeffery, while Kis’ EWI provides both bass lines and synth-style solos"

---------------∞¬∞-----------------

 BAGG*FISH's new album is finally out!!

 


“El Tren is improvised, you can already hear that from the first notes.

Wonderfully hectic, the trio provides us with an overwhelming sound experience… a powerful drumming by Baggiani along with exciting displays of Fischer, while Cajado is equally impressive here… pure noise at a breakneck pace.

Truly fascinating, a special album.”  

Nieuwe Noten - Ben Taffijn

Check it out in BandCamp or Trytone Records!!!

The beautiful hand-made package features Oscar Jan Hoogland's liner-notes, check it out here

"Pure music in this duo. Pure beauty"



An ‘out of the ordinary’ sax-and-drums duo.

Their musical approach stems from an encyclopaedic study of Jazz and Improvisation as well as classical composition and post-classical techniques. This information is brewed within the roots of Argentinean and Latin American culture. Their way into sound is a revered path bound to their devoted musical dedication.

---------------∞¬∞-----------------

Badenhorst/Baggiani/Celano feat. W. Brederode


Carnet Imaginaire, our release from last year at Challenge Records keeps on harvesting very positive reviews all over the world.

"Full of notable moments, Carnet Imaginaire is a highly recommended work. A delight for the ears!!"
Pachi Tapiz -Tomajazz (ES)
------------------------------------

"Compositions that tell stories? Powerful stories? So now you are at the right address and you should definitely listen to this album.
These musicians are great storytellers who create their paintings and landscapes with a great variety of shapes and colours!"  
Patrick Ĺ panko - Sk Jazz (SLO)"
------------------------------------

“One surprise follows another bewitching revelation. 'Carnet Imaginaire' is synonymous with a layered daydreaming world of thoroughbred poets who combine the most daring and amazeballs sounds with their instruments. Highly recommended”
Jazz en Zo (NL) - Georges Tonla Briquet
------------------------------------

“Detailed compositions and improvisations sound with lyrical intimacy, highlighting outstanding melodies and rhythmic substructures, telling personal stories without words. A perfect balance”
Na dann, GĂĽnter (DE)
------------------------------------

"There are eleven musical stories on “Carnet Imaginaire”, each and every one of them is a gem!"
Jan van Leersum - Roottime.be
------------------------------------

“Truly contemporary jazz coloured by Argentinean roots” 
Ben Taffijn - Nieuwe Noten (NL)
------------------------------------

"Extraordinary soundscapes in a cozy and enigmatic atmosphere with a beautiful cover of the Hymn a l'amour by Edith Piaf" *** (3/3)  Le Soir, Jean-Claude Vantroyen (BE)

Horn-Drum || Album presentation


Sued/Baggiani 1st duo album ready to come out on El Negocito.

The release concert will be on Oct 10th 2022 at  Klankhaven in Antwerp!!

"Pure music in this duo. Pure beauty" Oscar Jan Hoogland

For the past 25 years these 2 Amsterdam based Argentineans have played and toured together extensively within different formations, delighting audiences with their singular and mutual music understanding, appearing at many major festivals as well as intimate club spaces.
They have just recorded an inspired new album from the guts of the pandemic period.



Natalio Sued: tenor, saxophone & clarinet || Marc Baggiani: drums

---------------∞¬∞-----------------

Badenhorst/Baggiani/Celano feat. W. Brederode

De Bijloke (BE)

In addition to the release concerts at Bimhuis Amsterdam, De Bijloke Fest. (Gent BE), 
inJazz and North Sea Jazz Festival, the album has got an exceptional attention from the media:


..."The music of this new quartet has an edge, a fringe of adventure, experiment and the essential humor... the musical wheels work together like a machine" Jazzflits #375 - Herman te Loo

------------------------------------

"This is indeed an unusual band and quite unpredictable music.
The pieces take their time, the rooms breathe deeply. There are free, lyrical breaks, sometimes a blended warm feeling, then again adventurous detours and a touch of imaginary exoticism.
Definitely special." HJS - Jazz Thing

------------------------------------




"... Elegant melodies peel out of stumbled sequences of beats, great melancholic themes grow out of quiet banter, enigmatic voices murmur and lament, tribal beats seek their way in the diffuse sonic interference fire of manipulated saxophone and manipulated guitars…" album of the week at NDR Kultur (DE)

------------------------------------

“Four gifted narrators are at work here, less interested in the plot than in the colours and contours of their musical images.
Composition and freedom in the improvisational design are balanced at a high level.
Perhaps it is precisely the abrogation of such contraposition that pulls the listener under a mysterious spell, in a music that is constantly floating but never drifts away.”  Ruedi Anlki - Jazz n More

------------------------------------

"The amalgam of styles and the genre-bending are characteristic of this group of musicians. Musical categories are abandoned and boundaries overruled.
Surprisingly, pianist Wolfert Brederode has been added to the trio.This is remarkable ... the ECM artist is a breed improviser who holds up tightly within this remarkable combo. His contributions are adventurous and effective "  Concert review Paradox - Louis Obbens - DraaiOmJeOren

------------------------------------

“When you think of impressionism, you quickly think of soundscapes, but the variety of sounds and the build-up of tension is simply too great for that.

They feel just at home in a highly ordered environment as in a fully unpredictable territory, the rightful domain of improvisers.” Ken Vos - Jazzism


---------------∞¬∞-----------------

Jerboah is planing a recording session in the fall of this year.
Besides working in the new material, we’ve made few videos to share our music with you.



And we are playing on September 23rd at the Nebular Sessions at De Ruimte!

Talking about recordings:


This unique improv-noise power duo featuring Michael Fischer on tenor sax and feedback (and yours truly on drums) has just finished mixing what it will become their 2nd album, featuring a very special guest: Vinicius Cajado on double bass.



Last year, amidst our trio tour that took us to ArtActs Festival in St Johann (A) Fluc in Vienna and at Zajkert | Noice Garden Museum of Modern and Contemporary Arts in Debrecen (H), We entered the recording studio.

Badenhorst/Baggiani/Celano feat. W. Brederode



"Carnet Imaginaire grabs a hold on you, pulls you in and doesn’t let you go until the very end.
Once again there’s no explanation needed. Effortlessly the music itself shows the direction.
The listener follows the lead of each carefully crafted composition and improvisation, by these wonderful musicians." -- Jasper Somsen

 Iman Spaargaren - clarinet, tenor sax and bass clarinet, Gerard Kleijn - trumpet, Joost Buis - trombone, Annie Tangberg - cello, Guillermo Celano - guitar, Marcos Baggiani - drums

London Jazz News (UK)
"That’s a whole bunch of see-sawing moods expressed through ensemble, solo and group improv, impressionistically slipping between thoughtful arrangements, loose affiliations and uninhibited free music, all suspended over an eclectic set of rhythms. The Orchestra, enthusiastically underlined by drummer Marcos Baggiani, picks and mixes beats from samba, railways, Saharan caravans and horseback."

Talking about recordings:

..."This is not the usual way for latin jazz, I rather hear classical latinamerican styles such as tango and bolero mixed with contemporary and improvised music... a good example of the way in which improvisation brings new life into a tradition.

the music is greatly enriched by all these influences…  And MĂ©ndez is a beauty of a singer” 


Live @ Pletterij || Ben Taffijn - DraaiOmJeOren - Aug 2020




Working against all odds in these pandemic times we succeed to make these videos, please check them out.


 
Fuensanta MĂ©ndez (MĂ©xico): vocals & double bass
Guillermo Celano (Arg/NL): guitar
Marc Baggiani (Arg): drums

Where intuition and awareness play together, voices, drums, and strings mingle in a freedom dance.
Fresh, riotous, rooted, sometimes abstract, sometimes avant-garde or wacky, always beating.
Argentinian rhythms, Mexican boleros and originals seasoned with soundscapes, poetry, absurdism, improvisation and a non-challant postmodern approach.

+ last year Antimufa released a new album in a full house at Bimhuis.

The new album Grillos featuring MartĂ­n Sued on bandoneon got two more reviews:


"Antimufa brings us an Argentinian narrative in nine unique stories of contemporary fairy tales and pure passion. 

Grillos is a source of inspiration."

“…splendid melodies and beautiful interplay... a wonderful example of the relationship between Latin American tradition and jazz…”

"Excellent music on this remarkable, delicate work with no empty words. 

A journey beyond talent through one of those albums that reward with unveiled surprises every new listening. 

Where is our home? BBC Trio wonders. They answered it themselves. In the music my friends… In the music."
