Product description


Witness Medna Roso, a testament to transcendent musical communion. This particular recording features BBC Jazz Award- winning and Mercury nominated solo artist Kit Downes on organ, New Zealand saxophonist Hayden Chisholm-known for his distinct microtonal tuning system-contributing on alto saxophone, shruti box, analogue synthesizer, throat singing, and vocals from PJEV, a female a cappella vocal quintet from Zagreb that preserves and cherishes traditional vocal music from Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Included in the recording are extensive notes with titles, lyrics and translations of the songs to guide the curious listener through the wondrous music, a really beautiful example of what can happen when strong musical personalities from different worlds embrace the adventure of improvising together.

The combination of sounds echoed mightily and timelessly in the ancient acoustic of the Agneskirche in Cologne, where the ensemble performed this spellbinding concert for a sold-out concert at the Cologne Jazz Week Festival in September 2021, which lives on now thanks to this pristine production issuing on Red Hook Records.
