Review:
Cobblestone Jazz has been performing
live electronic music for five years
together. The three members of the
group are programmer Tyger Dhula,
keyboardists Danuel Tate and Mathew
Jonson. The nature of their music
balances electronic composition with
a live and moving element that
results in the exploration of many
different styles. Cobblestone is a
bit of an anomaly in this day and
age of studio refinement, opting to
approach music from a performance
perspective first, as opposed to
recreating studio pieces for their
live shows. A large part of this is
due to the involvement of Tate,
whose background as a jazz musician
has led to a large emphasis on
playing live. The groupÆs influences
range from jazz and dub to
breakbeats and minimal techno, and
many points in between. æIndia In
MeÆ has been one of the highlights
of their recent live performances at
venues including the Montreux Jazz
Festival and Panorama Bar in Berlin.
Likened by some to electronic whales
singing to each other, the groove
undulates and develops constantly
over the course of each session.
Both tracks are recorded and mixed
in a live outboard setting. No
pre-arrangement was done; the tracks
are just improvised and mixed
straight to tape. Both versions
share the same principle parts û Mat
playing the bassline on an SH-101
and Danuel on Vocoder jamming
together û plus atmospherics from
Tyger of an early live recording of
Danuel playing trumpet through lots
of reverb. The A side has a freer
composition and broken rhythms while
the B side appears straighter, more
obviously for a club setting. Both
build and destroy dancefloors,
capturing minds and feet, waking us
up to the unique and unmistakable
sound of Cobblestone Jazz.
