Jazz Re: freshed are proud to present the third studio album by bassist and composer Daniel Casimir. 'Balance' encapsulates big band energy, with his signature combination of classical, jazz and cinematic sounds.The album pays homage to the traditions of big band composition and historical significance whilst illustrating contemporary sensibilities.This ambitious project explores the balance between two large and full sounds of a big band and a string section and is inspired by icon Wayne Shorter's album 'Emanon' which made a deep impression on Casimir during the process of creating the album.An organic development of Casimir's last critically acclaimed album 'Boxed In' which featured a jazz quintet alongside a mini chamber orchestra and was comprised of a woodwind, brass, and a string quartet, 'Balance' is a self produced album that takes his musical vision to the next level in his most ambitious body of work to date, leading 26 musicians.Recorded in November 2022 at Livingston Studios, in a very conscientious recording process which saw piano, bass, and drums recorded together first, followed by trumpet, trombone, saxophone, and the string section and an all star band that consists of figures from the UK Jazz scene, Cassie Kinoshi, Binker, Nubya Garcia, Rosie Turton, Sheila Maurice-Grey, and Jay Phelps to name a few, alongside a stunning string section performed by the London Contemporary Orchestra.The final day of recording enlisted the powerful vocal prowess of singers Zola Marcelle and Ria Moran to finesse the masterpiece. The track 'Music Not Numbers' is an encouraging call to all musicians to not allow streaming culture to affect their creative process and to continue expanding the intrinsic nature of music. Whereas track 'Search for Goldilocks' explores the second meaning behind the album title 'Balance', which is to seek balance within and discover the qualities in life that are 'just right'.Tracklisting:A1.
