Lasso / Jordan Hamilton / The Saxsquatch - Tri-Magi [LP]

Jordan Hamilton, a cellist equally equipped to perform Bach, reimagine Chick Corea, or bow a Drake top line. Hamilton is a "one of one" instrumentalist who somehow allows the cello to land in new revelatory situations regardless of the composition, genre, mood, or approach. The Saxsquatch, a saxophonist bent on twisting his instrument into the singular voice of a beast. Saxsquatch plays with a knowledge of the history/pedigree of his instrument, jazz to rock to noise, but does so with a proprietary blend of the styles that leaves saxophone sounding new. The Lasso, a producer who has pulled in everything while refusing genre across his run of LPs on Mello Music Group. Lasso continues his role as providing diverse and creative landscapes that allow the lead voices of his compositions to become players in their own sonic fate. The Lasso, Jordan Hamilton and The Saxsquatch join forces for the new Mello Music Group album Tri-Magi. "Our goal as an ensemble is to create new fusions and discover unique intersections," reflects Lasso. "Footwork percussion, stabs of Juno chords, and big band stacks of sax and cello highlight this proprietary blend of jazz and electronic music."
