    On\u00a0Jondo,<\/em>\u00a0Josh revisits a classic instrumentation, the nonet, first made famous by Miles Davis on his seminal album\u00a0Birth of the Cool<\/em>. Says Rager about the CD, \u201cComposing for this instrumentation of 6 horns and rhythm section has given me the opportunity to explore new colours, new textures, new harmonies, that are just not possible with other groups of instruments. My goal was not to make direct reference to any group of the past but to try and build upon the work of the great jazz composers like Gil Evans. I wanted to find my own voice as a composer and also feature the amazing musicianship of some of Montreal\u2019s finest musicians.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Josh has written 9 compositions and arrangements around an all-star line up of Montr\u00e9al jazz musicians. The music is melodic, energetic, and harmonically lush. Says Rager, \u201cThe title comes from the Spanish vocal tradition \u2018Cante Jondo\u2019 which means \u2018Deep Singing\u2019. The notion applies to this music because jazz musicians often think in terms of achieving a vocal quality in their improvisations. We are always singing to ourselves and using our instruments as an extension of our voices. Through this music we are singing, blurring the lines between what is written and what is improvised, like the Flamenco vocal tradition.\u201d<\/p>\n
