about

“Big, honest, open-hearted energy.” – Jason Lindner

The band, formed in 2019, is releasing their debut album Open to Closeness on April 24, 2022 (Bivak Records), featuring a guest appearance by the acclaimed New York keyboardist Jason Lindner. You may know Lindner from bands of Donny McCaslin, Mark Guiliana, his own projects as Now vs. Now or David Bowie's last, iconic album Blackstar. This collaboration was a dream-come-true idea of the bandleader Radim Přidal: “Jason was my number one wish when I was thinking about who I’d like to feature as a guest artist on the album. We never met and didn’t know each other before and when he agreed to work on the album with us, it was really thrilling and gratifying. The collaboration worked out perfectly and Jason, remotely from his home studio in Brooklyn, recorded the keyboard, synth and sequencer tracks and really moved the album forward big time,” says Přidal about the experience.

The album's title “Open To Closeness” carries a strong non-musical theme:

As a society, we've isolated ourselves in our shells, be they cities, apartments, or cars, thinking that we've matured to our surroundings, that we've conquered them, that we can cut ourselves off from their influence, and that we're better off without them. But now we are coming to the point that eventually we have no choice but to come out of these shells again and find a new relationship with the environment, a new way to live in connection and intimacy with it.

Important musical influences include the New York jazz scene and musicians such as Justin Brown, James Francies, Jeremy Dutton, Mark Guiliana, Donny McCaslin, Robert Glasper and Charles Altura, but occasionally echoes of early jazz idols such as Pat Metheny and Bill Frisell peek out of their work. In the field of popular music, it's a varied mix ranging from David Bowie to Radiohead, and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers to Anderson Paak, to name a few.
