Renee Rosnes: Crossing Paths
Jazz pianist Renee Rosnes presents her new album of classic Bossa Nova songs
King Llama presents us with their new fusion jazz album, fata implexis
LOS ANGELES:
Right out of the starting gate, it’s apparent that the eagerly awaited new King Llama album, fata implexis (translating to “fate intertwined”), is something special, commanding and category-elastic.
The fiery and whip smart instrumental band’s tune “Lora Ky” packs an immediate and visceral punch, within its sophisticated changes, spidery guitar riffs, tricky unison lines and mosaic-like structure, built from material conjured up by guitarist-songwriter Ryan T. Bailey.
The song serves as a prelude and on-ramp to the electrifying journey unfolding over six tracks—including the multi-sectional 11-minute epic “Sir Isaac.”
Come welcome King Llama’s Ryan T. Bailey and drummer Luis Briones to our show!
