Release Notes:
The ôAvi Granite:6ö is a neo-jazz group out of
Toronto who have been carving out their sound and
music language for the past 2 years. A highly
improvised group concept pervades their music, the
layering of groove and metric indulgences are ever
present. The group consists of young, upcoming
players on the Toronto scene. A horn section of two
saxes and a trombone is offset by a rhythm section
of electric guitar, upright bass and drums. The
ôAG:6ö explore and combine many elements from far
reaching places. There is an evident influence of
the Avant-Garde in jazz as well as thematic
concepts reminiscent of film music, traces of
tribal elements can also be found - the title of
the new CD ôRed Treeö is derived from the image of
embrace that it fosters. All the tunes are penned
by Avi Granite, a one time ôpots and pansö genius
turned improvising restructuralist composer,
guitarist and producer whose sense of melody is
slightly twisted and whose concept of groove is
uniquely penetrating.
