| Description: | The Berlin based label Sonar Kollektiv has been waiting
for it anxiously: Key Elementsā?? debut album leads Jazz
music into the new decade down-the-line. The music Key
Elements create is fresh, merciless and ruthless and has
always the finger on the pulse of the time. The albumā??s
eight tracks are all far away from Broken Beat nostalgia
or Beatmaking nedism, they breathe inspiration from the
young, thriving British jazz scene.
Key Elementā??s initiator, DJ and producer Marian Tone,
built up a reputation in the Berlin hiphop, soul and jazz
scene over the years (also as a co-founder of Beatkollektiv).
With all of his compositions you always feel this heritage
and his love and passion for hiphop. But the other
two allys within Ā«Key ElementsĀ», drummer Waldi and the
keyboard or bass player Jim Dunloop made their contribution
with compositions and ideas as well. An album
which was initially designed to be a mere solo project
became an effort of a trio over the years being inherently
consistent.
Already the opening track Ā«Mike Needs SugarĀ» shows
the direction this album will take us: To the land of the
good groove. Itā??s here where the three thoroughbred musicians
feel on top of the world obviously and deliver one
luscious track after the other. From the cheerful Ā«Morning
BoomĀ» to the kinda furtively laid back Ā«ImpossibleĀ»
and the final Ā«Funky DaveĀ», which could be on an Italian
soundtrack from the 70ā??s every single tone and note from
Ā«Key ElementsĀ» is great fun.
Especially because even when you listen to it a second,
third or fourth time you will discover new nuances and
niceties again and again. As is right and proper for really
good jazz album.
