London Odense Ensemble
is a powerhouse quintet that combines forces from the
Causa Sui
/
El Paraiso
family tree (
Jakob Skøtt
,
Jonas Munk
,
Martin Rude
) with the vibrant, experimental London jazz scene (
Tamar Osborn
,
Al MacSween
). On two studio full-lengths, released in 2022 and 2023, they have explored the confluence of psychedelia, improvisation and cosmic jazz. On this set, recorded at the 2021 edition of Denmark's Jaiyede Jazz Festival, the energy is cranked up another notch or two. Comprised almost entirely of exclusive material not found on the two studio records these three sonic excursions dive head-on into the fiery side of the group's sound. Taking up the entire A-side "Energy Ascending" starts out as a gently flowing piece of dreamy jazz that wouldn't have sounded out of place on a late 1960s
Pharoah Sanders
record. As the piece evolves the guitar takes it into rock territory, where it dissolves in a mesmerizing breakdown before commencing a build of epic proportions, led by Tamar Osborn's baritone sax, channeling
The Stooges
as much as
John Coltrane
. Heavy. On the B-side things get more electronic and spacy. Here the ensemble uses album track "Sojourner" as a starting point for a new improvisation guided by Al MacSween's virtuoso keyboard work. The rhythm section creates a hypnotic foundation for layers of synths and electric keys to fully blossom and travel into cosmic territory. Limited to 300 copies on ochre vinyl.
