When a drummer who is virtuoso in jazz, metal, Indian folklore and classical music releases a new album, it is worth listening more closely. The result? Impressive! This album is anything but ordinary. "Unclassified Affections" is the fascinating new album by drummer and composer Dan Weiss, which brings together some of the most exciting musicians on the scene: Peter Evans on trumpet, Patricia Brennan on vibraphone, who is currently considered one of the most exciting jazz musicians, and Miles Okazaki on guitar. Their music is characterized by fascinating orchestration, deep rhythmic textures, and harmonic innovations that take full advantage of the unique combination of instruments. The compositions Weiss has written especially for these musicians range from deep, meditative moments to intense, energetic climaxes, moving in a world of labyrinthine rhythms and finely graded improvisations, where their unusual musical palette contributes to an otherworldly sonic universe.
