The Choir Invisible
«Town Of Two Faces»
Intakt Record Release
FEAT: CHARLOTTE GREVE-CHRIS TORDINI-VINNIE SPERRAZZA

Englisch
Comprised of saxophonist Charlotte Greve (Lisbeth Quartet, Wood River), bassist Chris Tordini (Tyshawn Sorey, Chris Speed), and Vinnie Sperrazza (EMBER, Michael Formanek), the Choir Invisible takes their name from a hymn-like Sperrazza composition. Founded in Brooklyn in 2018, the group’s combination of haunting melodies, visceral improvisations, and earthy grooves brought them to Intakt Records, who are releasing their second album, Town Of Two Faces, on February 16th. The group will be on tour in the US and Europe in 2024.

„ Infused with an inventive and organic zest a sonic odyssey which continues to chart the trio’s distinct musical dialect. Town Of Two Faces stands as a testament to jazz’s enduring dynamism and adaptability, blending complexity with a welcoming openness.“
Glenn Astarita, All About Jazz

„ Infusing nuanced rhythmic detail, to-the-point melodies, and a seamless fusion of jazz and rock elements, the trio strikes a harmonic balance and stylistic coherence in their quietly moving sophomore release, Town of Two Faces.
The Choir Invisible achieves an elegant, soulful fluency that invites listeners to unravel some ambiguity but also discern consummate ideas that develop with exquisite taste toward many possibilities. It’s a strong come back from this well-oiled trio.“
Felipe Freitas, JazzTrail.net

Das kollektive Trio, „The Choir Invisible“, bestehend aus drei bedeutenden Persönlichkeiten der kreativen Musikszene Brooklyns – Charlotte Greve (Lisbeth Quartett, Wood River), Chris Tordini (Tyshawn Sorey, Chris Speed), and Vinnie Sperrazza (EMBER, Michael Formanek), – veröffentlicht sein lang erwartetes zweites Album auf Intakt Records.  Auf „Town of Two Faces“ entwickeln sie ihre einzigartige Sprache ohne Harmonieinstrument weiter zu einem lebhaften Dialog. Mit allen drei Bandmitgliedern, die Kompositionen beisteuern, ist der emotionale und strukturelle Inhalt ihrer Musik breit gefächert, gleichzeitig bleiben Improvisation und Melodie stets verwurzelt in einem tiefen Groove. Eine working Band seit 2018 und ein Trio auf höchstem Niveau!
