The Kandinsky Effect

It’s difficult more than enough being truly a creative jazz trio in the 21st hundred years — finding period to apply, organizing gigs and travels, lining up studio room time for you to record, all with an vision on underneath collection — but if an sea separates one bandmember from your other two, the hurdles must seem especially daunting. Nevertheless, that hasn’t halted the Kandinsky Impact from charging forward, despite the fact that tenor saxophonist Warren Walker and bassist Gaël Petrina reside in Paris and drummer Caleb Dolister lives in NEW YORK. Walker and Dolister possess a common musical history prior to the Kandinsky Impact, however; they may be both Californians who analyzed jazz and graduated from your University or college of Nevada, Reno. Post-college, Walker crossed the fish pond to try out in Italy’s Faenza International Saxophone Event, and will need to have used a liking towards the Western picture, because he relocated to Paris in early 2007 and offers lived there since. In the mean time, Dolister (child of bassist Joe Dolister) busied himself with numerous recording tasks stateside, and in addition founded the impartial SNP Information label. For bassist Petrina, he previously a far more peripatetic existence from in early stages, surviving in Buenos Aires, LA, London, and Paris. He also began playing music in California — in LA while still an adolescent, to be precise — but pursued a musical profession in earnest with additional research in both Chichester, Britain, and Paris, the town where he ultimately resolved. Petrina and Walker installed in Paris and started playing as the Warren Walker Trio with Perpignan-born, Paris-based drummer Gautier Garrigue in 2007, quickly changing the trio’s name towards the Kandinsky Impact — called in homage to Russian painter and abstract artwork pioneer Wassily Kandinsky — and liberating an eponymous debut Compact disc (documented in Basel, Switzerland) this year 2010 on Dolister’s SNP label. Nevertheless, for the group’s follow-up disk, Walker and Petrina tapped Walker’s previous UN-Reno college partner Dolister as an alternative for Garrigue, regardless of the presence from the Atlantic Sea standing between your saxophonist and bassist as well as the trio’s brand-new drummer. After touring in both European countries and THE UNITED STATES, the Kandinsky Impact decided on an area in neither France nor america to record their sophomore record, planing a trip to Iceland to record Synesthesia at Reykjavik’s Syrland Studios in Sept 2011. Featuring Walker and Petrina on results aswell as their particular core musical instruments of saxophone and bass (Walker got also attempted effects in the band’s debut Compact disc) and Dolister on notebook aswell as drums, the record melded consumer electronics with modern innovative jazz. Synesthesia premiered with the Cuneiform label in January 2013. IN-MAY of the next season, Walker, Petrina, and Dolister inserted Videlles, France’s Studio room des Egreffins with engineer Nicolas Charlier to record their third record, Somnambulist. Another mixture of cutting-edge consumer electronics and avant jazz, Somnambulist was the next Kandinsky Impact record released by Cuneiform, and found its way to January 2015.
