Arp 'ENSEMBLE - LIVE' LP

Combining innovative production with an interest in music from around the globe – fourth world, Japanese avant-garde, minimalism, kosmische, dub, cosmic jazz and more – ‘ZEBRA’ found Arp (aka Alexis Georgopoulos) firing on all cylinders, drawing comparisons to Don Cherry, Midori Takada, Jon Hassell and Alice Coltrane. If ‘ZEBRA’, the first album made primarily in his new home studio, showed Georgopoulos blossoming as an arranger/producer, ‘ENSEMBLE – LIVE!’ emphasizes a different character – the sound of a group dynamic, of a vibe, of inspiration found in the moment – and how these songs work with 5 people playing them at the same time, together in a room.
