about
A quartet that span decades of musical creation, Conjoint brings together a couple youngsters and a seasoned veteran for an album of electronic jazz wanderings. In the previous sentence, I refer to a single seasoned veteran, and that spot is filled by Karl Berger, who has played vibes since the 50s with the likes of Don Cherry, Ornette Coleman, George Clinton and others. That said, a couple of the "youngsters" on this release are veterans in their field, with Jamie Hodge (whose first release as Born Under a Rhyming Planet came out on Richie Hawtin's Plus8 label back in 1994) and David Moufang (who is best known as Move D, and has released a couple clean-lined techno albums under that name). The quartet is rounded out by guitarist and sound-designer Gunter Ruit Kraus, who co-formed the group almost ten years ago with Moufang and composed a good portion of the songs on the release. Rob Young, de l'excellentissime magazine britannique The Wire, avait comparé le travail de Conjoint, en parlant du premier de leur album, à celui de Miles Davis en évoquant In A Silent Way User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
