180 gram black Virgin Vinyl with a free Download Code included!When accidents happen, they are normally over in seconds, sometimes minutes; this one has been going on for 20 years. It is two decades since the members of Emile Parisien's quartet played a jam session together. At the end, they looked at each other in disbelief. They had not just been hit by a collective musical thunderbolt, they also knew they had just brought...well...something...into being. The common ground between them was jazz, but each had all kinds of seeds to sow in it, from classical music and contemporary sounds to rock, electronica and chanson. These four rip up labels, break down barriers, upset codes, and yet they know exactly where they are headed. There is a shared obsession with narrative. The central axis of the quartet has always been storytelling, the saxophonist emphasises. Let Them Cook is like a breath of fresh air, and with a band sound now firmly and unmistakably of 2024 rather than 2004. There was a particular turning point: at a concert in Sweden near the end of their Double Screening album tour, they had taken a chance and tried out a move from an entirely acoustic sound to incorporate some electronics. It worked, so they stayed with it: they found that these electronic punctuations never polluted the band's DNA, but rather stimulated it. The electronic apparatus was clearly additive to the stories of these compositions, the way it all fitted together was astounding. Which brings us back to the ever-present question: how do you get away from the classic jazz quartet of sax, piano, bass and drums? We're always trying to find the answer! There's no point in redoing what the John Coltrane and Wayne Shorter groups did, because in many ways you'll never reach their level.
