about

It is a rare stroke of luck when a completely new piece of music triggers the spontaneous impression that one has known it for decades. This is undoubtedly true of Alternate Reality, the third album by the Swiss band Woodoism, based on trombonist Florian Weiss. The ten tracks, recorded with trombone, saxophone, double bass and drums – and with flute and glockenspiel at selected moments – seem as familiar as a warm coat in a snowstorm. Everything is brand new and exciting, and yet instantly becomes music that’s deeply ingrained in the body. (Wolf Kampmann)

★★★★★ & Jazz'n'More-Albumtipp: Hammerjazz ins Jammertal: Auch im dritten Anlauf seit 2017 schafft es dieses pianolose Quartett mit seinem neuen Album, unsere Mundwinkel weit nach oben zu ziehen und die pandemietrübe Miene für eine knappe Stunde kräftig aufzuhellen.

★★★★ Jazzthetik: Ein gelungenes Album mit mal ganz anderen Klangfarben.

► AZ "Best of May"-Albumtipp: Woodoism gehört zu den vielversprechendsten jungen Schweizer Bands.

► France Musique "Jazz Trotter": C'est un coup de chance rare lorsqu'une musique nouvelle déclenche spontanément l'impression qu'on la connaît depuis des décennies.

► Schaffhauser Nachrichten: [...] eine der schönsten Kompositionen, die an diesem Festival zu hören waren [...] (über "Valse des Papillons de Nuit")
