Their music, which is more about communicating with their young peers than polishing their jazz cred, had gained a new breadth and maturity from their work as leaders of their own bands.\r\n\r\nBeyond the effect of rock or hip hop rhythmic feels (given a fine polyrhythmic lift in Dan Gaucher's drumming) and the way each song’s sense of melody and narrative offers the direct access of popular music, this is a group that always honors the expressive freedom of jazz. Central to their sound are reed player Evan Arntzen's singing lines (even when they’re twisting\/angular) and his vocal approach to articulation, absorbed from a young age studying trad clarinet with his grandfather Lloyd Arntzen. Dan comments: \u003cem\u003e“The Bjork tune is a way for us to get as close as we might to having a singer, I know we all hear her voice when we play that song.”\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\nWith this band it's all about setting up dialogues with each other and with their listeners. Bassist Josh Cole: “We’re learning how to make ‘bright’ music that still has emotional depth. After the sombre tone of Looks like it's going to snow, we made a conscious effort to build a body of music that had more of a bright, ‘aggressiveness’ energy. Snow was talking a lot about family, and loss, and was very introspective. New Dream is very outward looking, dealing with the world in its current state, and trying to have a positive effect on it. The re-discovery of innocence or youthful energy is important to the concept of New Dream.\"\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eOctober Trio\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\nEvan Arntzen, Tenor \u0026amp; Soprano Saxophone \u0026amp; Clarinet\r\nJosh Cole, Bass\r\nDan Gaucher, Drums","brand":"Songlines Recordings","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56741763285316,"sku":"SGL15932-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56741763318084,"sku":"SGL15932-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56741763350852,"sku":"SGL15932-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56741763383620,"sku":"SGL15932-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56741763416388,"sku":"SGL15932-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56741763449156,"sku":"SGL15932-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV  88.2 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56741763481924,"sku":"SGL15932-72","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57343108055364,"sku":"SGL15932-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/SGL15932.jpg?v=1778502195","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/products\/sgl15932-new-dream","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
