Holon

Holon cover art

Continuing the Swiss pianist's exploration of what he terms 'Zen Funk', this remarkable record bridges the gap between Steve Reich-style minimalism and grooving European jazz. The quintet locks into incredibly tight, hypnotic polyrhythms, building subtle tension through precise repetition rather than chaotic soloing. It is a masterful, deeply engrossing demonstration of acoustic precision and constraint.
