Avant-garde jazz is often where the unexpected thrives, and the Novoa/Kamaguchi/Cleaver Trio’s latest offering, ‘From Left To Right’, is a masterclass in navigating this uncharted territory. With a title that suggests a journey, the track invites listeners to traverse a landscape of intricate melodies and bold improvisations, all expertly steered by the formidable force of pianist and composer, Eva Novoa.

Over its nearly four-minute duration, Novoa orchestrates this sonic journey with the confidence of a seasoned navigator. Masa Kamaguchi’s bass work adds a robust undercurrent, grounding the ethereal piano lines with a rhythmic pulse. Meanwhile, Gerald Cleaver’s drumming is a masterclass in the art of subtlety and surprise, punctuating the piece with unexpected accents and polyrhythmic flourishes that keep listeners on their toes.

The track is lifted from their forthcoming album, Novoa/Kamaguchi/Cleaver Trio, Vol. 2, arriving on 23rd May through 577 Records.
