JC JONES

Israeli bassist and Improvised Music pioneer Jean Claude Jones revisits eleven musical pieces recorded live and in studio over a period of ten years, performing, what he calls recomposition of the pieces. In his own words: 'As opposed to mere editing, recomp involves the deconstruction, subtraction, rearrangement, and reconstruction of the material. It not only changes the sequencing, but it radically affects the feeling and the flow of the music. It also changes the texture of the weave, the voice of the team, and the original intention, revealing new connections, transitions, and possibilities'. The pieces are duos and trios played with other Israeli Improvised Music musicians like Avishai Cohen (bass), Yuval Mesner (cello), Steve Horenstein (bass clarinet and flute), Eyal Maoz (guitar), Ned Rothenberg (alto sax), Ariel, Harold Rubin (clarinet), Daniel Hoffman (violin), Nori Jacoby (viola), Arkady Gotesman (drums).
