JOHN MENEGON and SOUND EMBRACE has high hopes for the success of this album and said, This music by Bassist/Composer/Educator John Menegon, in collaboration with exceptional musicians, pushes the boundaries of today’s music on the world stage. "The intuitive, spontaneous nature of the music between the musicians in the Quartet is deeply rooted in the traditions that come out of the Free Bop era of Ornette Coleman, Dewey Redman, and Paul Motian, to name a few. The music is created in the “moment of now!”
Some of the melodies will be freely interpreted, sometimes letting the form create itself, using melodic and harmonic expression relying in the trust of each player’s deep knowledge of improvisation. The group will be exploring some odd meters and different grooves, and will include Menegon’s original compositions as well as music by Dewey Redman (Boop Boo Doop, Dewey’s Tune, Joie De Vivre). Menegon played and recorded with Dewey for over a decade. Menegon’s originals are rooted in the experiences he had playing and touring with Dewey Redman, as well as Joe Lovano, who he currently plays with.
The band will be featuring Jeff Lederer on Tenor Saxophone for the CD Release Event at "Upstairs" in Montreal, Quebec.
“Wonderful concert last night, led by John Menegon, with Jean-Michel Pilc, Chet Doxas & Jim Doxas. Seriously swinging, very accessible yet intriguingly unpredictable.” Jean-Pierre Leduc, Lunched Management & Booking (JAN 2023)
