Brahja - Brahja LP

Jazz is not dead. Traditional and classic jazz disciplines have been alive and progressing perpetually throughout the ethers of the musical universe, for upwards of the past 70 years within the dispensation of recorded music history. Moreover, Jazz contains a multitude of sub-styles that outreach and influence enthusiasts of the genre via various sonic characteristics, shapes and forms. It is a genre which never negates the multitude of intricate musical preferences and gravitations and exists as a deeply complex yet magical form of music.It is also a form of music in which its absolute complexities, ideologies and genius are seemingly only truly understood by those who consciously give themselves, in spirit, to resonate with whatever style(s) of jazz music in which one chooses to partake.

In the scope of modern jazz music—that which exists and has been birthed within the confines of the new millennium—not much has changed. This is not a testament to complacency within the modern world of Jazz, but NO, in actuality, what this represents is an homage and reverence to the roots of Jazz as a genre, a nod and a bowing-down to the legacy players who have paved the way, and a level of deep cherish for the art-form with which some have been blessed to create and perform. Brahja (the band) is an exemplary collective of musicians, all who fall in-line with this modern jazz philosophy and have reflected it with absolute modern jazz perfection.
