Event

The Alchemists - Journey To The East CD Release Party
THE ALCHEMISTS are a Boston-based band of free form, genre-crossing jazz musicians devoted to the art of collective improvisation. Our music offers a spicy concoction of improvised, melody-driven, inventively original songs that weave together avant-garde jazz, standards, Latin rhythms, Indian beats, chamber music and other far-flung styles into a surprisingly eclectic whole.

By definition, what you hear at the release party will not reproduce the tracks on JOURNEY TO THE EAST - but it will reflect the kind of improvising, melody-centered, genre-mixing band we are.

How does this kind of spontaneous music happen? By careful listening to each other, quick glances from one musician to another, body language, paying attention to when it feels appropriate to join the music making, play a solo or drop back for a time. To ensure variety, we sometimes began with a certain beat or particular instruments - or no rules at all - always letting the music go where it wants to go.
