: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: Knats, a trio from the UK, play nu jazz, but it would be remiss :,
: to say they don't pay homage to their forebears. Their music :
:' implements scales invented by French composer Olivier Messiaen; ':
,: they make pepped-up, near-punky versions of jazz standards; and :,
: the cover for their second album, A Great Day in Newcastle, :
:' recreates Art Kane's classic 1958 photo 'A Great Day in ':
,: Harlem.' Here, Knats' music is part of a different kind of :,
: renaissance: an English northern renaissance. :
:' ':
,: Although they now live in London and are completing their :,
: degrees at Trinity College, Knats hail from Newcastle Upon Tyne, :
:' England's northernmost city, where residents are colloquially ':
,: known as Geordies, and 'house' is pronounced 'hoose.' The band :,
: is led by Stan Woodward (bass) and King David-Ike Elechi :
:' (drums), friends since childhood who started out as self-taught ':
,: musicians; trumpeter Ferg Kilsby, saxophonist George Johnson, :,
: and pianist Sandro Shar round out the trio. :
