K A L I M A - MODERN CHAMBER JAZZ & WORLD (Luxembourg, Cologne)

SASCHA LEY vocals LAIA GENC piano ANNE KAFTAN soprano saxophone & bass clarinet

The charismatic trio both surprises and convinces by its daring approach to an uninhibited and intimate jazz, a subtle mixture of modern themes and imaginary folklore. 
Having aroused international attention with their debut album in 2010, the winners of the Tremplin Jazz d'Avignon Audience Choice Award have continued elaborating their original and inventive music.
Kalima’s research at the intersection of highly melodic lines and dynamic rhythmical moments unfolds its poetry once more on their second album « Everything Within ».

« Everything Within », launched by the German label Neuklang, has been recorded during a three days session at the famous Bauer studios in Ludwigsburg, Germany in September 2012. It features nine compositions by Sascha Ley and Laia Genc, as well as Mongo Santamaría’s Afro Blue and pieces by Charlie Mariano and Prabha Atre, all revisited and rearranged. 
As a guest musician, percussionist Ramesh Shotham accompanies the trio on two songs, Sweet As It Can Be and Bangalore.

The Luxembourgian vocalist and performer Sascha Ley has a renowned reputation way beyond her home country for her original and undogmatic projects. As actress, multilingual singer, improviser and
poet she nimbly strides on her musical paths including jazz, free improvisation, imaginary folklore and contemporary music far from conventionality. The duo project Ley/Payfert gains its profit from these
qualities. On "It’s Alright To Be Everywhere" Sascha Ley and her French colleague, double bass player Laurent Payfert, present a mix extraordinarily rich of variations from jazz standards to original
compositions; sounds that evolve from instantaneous improvisations ("instant compositions") and over laid patterns of modern jazz: Fantastic and suggestive soundscapes, experiments, the use of special
singing and instrumental techniques as well as the art of storytelling evoke a surprising and vivacious experience beyond mainstream. As a matter of fact silence precedes all pieces of this album. Often enough it only becomes clear during the course of a piece if there will be a duo or a solo.
What is moreover interesting is that some of the album's songs feature renowned guitar player and songwriter Jean Pascal Boffo, in whose AMPER Studio (in the French municipality of Clouange) the album has been recorded, which again leads to two levels of musical communication: on the one hand there is the interaction of the duo with its sound designer, on the other hand the increased intensity in the play of "Ley-Payfert plus one".
Another guest of the production is French piano player Murat Öztürk, who brings an additional colour to "Departure", the last song on "It’s Alright To Be Everywhere", rounding up the ensemble to a quartet.
