The Parisborn and based musician has established himself as a preeminent voice in combining myriad global musics with Vietnamese influences in thrilling and groundbreaking ways. ‘Streams’ continues in that tradition, with a focus on taking jazz elements and extending them far beyond conventional boundaries. “The album is about revealing where my journey has brought me today and how each cultural idiosyncrasy has melted into my own voice,” says Lê. “There are lots of Indian rhythm concepts, many Indian and Vietnamese phrasings, Oriental melodic shifts and accents, and rhythms from Maghreb – as well as unknown references to imaginary traditions. I like to think all of ‘Streams’’ music showcases the journey of cultures, and how cultures transform themselves when they travel.” Every musician on the album is also dedicated to that inspiring mission: “This group is a great symbiosis of musicians, human beings and artistic personalities,” says Lê. “I’ve known Illya Amar since he was three. He’s my stepson and I saw him grow up and become a fantastic vibraphonist with great harmonic depth. I’ve known Chris Jennings for over 10 years. He provides such solid foundations which are rare to hear in funky grooves for an acoustic bass player. Drummer John Hadfield has a deep love of indigenous traditions. He has traveled extensively to India, Peru, Mongolia, the Middle East, and Indonesia to learn the rhythms and instruments of each culture.” For Lê, an essential element of jazz is having an open mind and open ears: “Because it’s based on collective improvisation, jazz is about listening to the other musicians and reacting and adapting your musical speech to the other on the spot,” he says. “This essential dialog and interplay makes jazz musicians the most empowered for cross-cultural dialogues.” “The ‘Streams’ quartet is one of my favorite examples of opening up that dialog. It creates rich musical conversations that, while grounded in jazz, ultimately transcends genres, enabling listeners to simply focus on and enjoy the music. I believe a new world of inspiration is opening up between tradition and modernity, East and West, and North and South. Streams is the embodiment of that idea.” – Nguyên Lê Artist Nguyên Lê Quartet Genre Jazz Label ACT Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings sfdhoasihvo Lskdnvlsndvl ;dvm;lsnvls ;kvjp;svmlv ;svj;svml;sv sdv;nsv Oweifhwoeifhoiwe Ldfjsdlfvjlsdjv Slvcjsdlvjlsd ;lsvjcspjfowiu Waeeriu209ru Slddifj2w409ru Sldfoj24-r ;aoeoefk-213 S;dfik ;fozk Z;odofk Apkdfjsdjfasjfjawf Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Jazz View Product Quick View John Coltrane Blue Train (Mono) Jazz | Blue Note Tone Poet | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 16th September 2022 £39.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Coltrane Blue Train (Mono) £39.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note Tone Poet SKU: 4548105 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 16th September 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jacintha Here’s To Ben – One Step Jazz | Groove Note | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released 24th January 2018 £126.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jacintha Here’s To Ben – One Step £126.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Groove Note SKU: GRV1001-45LE Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released Date: 24th January 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Alice Coltrane Transfiguration Jazz | Antarctica | 2LP Released 12th April 2019 £37.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Alice Coltrane Transfiguration £37.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Antarctica SKU: ASH314 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 12th April 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sonny Rollins Tenor Madness Jazz | Jazz Wax Records | 180g, 1LP Released 4th May 2010 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sonny Rollins Tenor Madness £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Jazz Wax Records SKU: JWR4532 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 4th May 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Fred Simon Remember The River Jazz | Naim Records | 180g, 1LP Released 1st November 2019 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fred Simon Remember The River £15.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Naim Records SKU: NAIMLP086 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 1st November 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Al Jarreau Breakin Away Jazz | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP, Includes Insert Released 23rd March 2015 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Al Jarreau Breakin Away £23.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1351 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Insert Released Date: 23rd March 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders On Sale View Product Quick View Penguin Cafe Handfuls of Night Electronica | Erased Tapes | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 4th October 2019 £14.99 - £17.00 £17.00 Select options Penguin Cafe Handfuls of Night £14.99 - £17.00 £17.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Erased Tapes Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 4th October 2019 Read More Select options Ben's picks View Product Quick View Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda The Ecstatic Music Of Jazz | Luaka Bop | 180g, 2LP Released 26th May 2017 £31.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda The Ecstatic Music Of £31.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Luaka Bop SKU: LB87LP Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 26th May 2017 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Dizzy Reece Star Bright (Classic Vinyl Series) Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 21st April 2023 £24.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Dizzy Reece Star Bright (Classic Vinyl Series) £24.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 5504143 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 21st April 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Michel Petrucciani Colors Jazz | Disques Dreyfus | 2LP Released 4th October 2019 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Michel Petrucciani Colors £25.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Disques Dreyfus SKU: 4050538526837 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 4th October 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
