Our Take

PENDELIS KARAYORGIS / MATT LANGLEY / JEFF GALINDO / JEF CHARLAND / CHARLAND JEF / GRAY LUTHER have created a mind-bending musical concoction with their latest album "System Of 5." This avant-garde jazz ensemble takes listeners on a rollercoaster ride of sonic exploration, blending intricate melodies with complex rhythms in a way that is both cerebral and soul-stirring.

From the opening track, it is clear that these musicians are masters of their craft, weaving together a tapestry of sounds that is at once chaotic and harmonious. Karayorgis's piano playing is both delicate and forceful, creating a sense of tension and release that keeps the listener on the edge of their seat.

Langley's saxophone playing is a revelation, soaring to dizzying heights before plunging into the depths of despair. Galindo's trombone adds a playful element to the mix, injecting bursts of energy into the more subdued moments.

Charland and Luther's rhythm section is the glue that holds the whole thing together, providing a solid foundation for the wild improvisations happening on top. Their interplay is at once tight and loose, giving the music a sense of spontaneity and danger.

In conclusion, "System Of 5" is a must-listen for fans of challenging, boundary-pushing music. This album is not for the faint of heart, but for those willing to take the plunge, the rewards are well worth it. Dive in and immerse yourself in the sonic world created by these five masterful musicians.
