VEHICLE/PASSENGER [Vinyl Release]
Political poetry and improvisations with Marc Alberto, Florian Herzog and Lesley Mok
VEHICLE/PASSENGER is back in the Netherlands to celebrate their newest vinyl release: "Live In Amsterdam" (recorded in Splendor!). Already praised as "one of the most honest and unique recordings of 2024." (All About Jazz); The live LP is a live-in-front-of-audience capture of a young group whose sound is as urgent, spiritual and honest as their message. Radical in both their introspection and their unapologetic clarity.
VEHICLE/WHO?
VEHICLE/PASSENGER is the intercontinental trio of Marc Alberto (NL/CW) on poetry, saxophones and electronics; Lesley Mok (US) on drums and percussion; and Florian Herzog (DE/US) on double bass and electronics. The band improvises at a deliberate pace that reveals a unified, futuristic sound. Repositioning the past, present and future of experimental music, free jazz, hip-hop, ambient, contemporary music, live electronics and {spoken-word}[poetry].
"VEHICLE/PASSENGER is basically a kind of joint trip around the Spoken Poetry of Marc Alberto. M.'s texts deal, among other things, with black experiences of alienation in a white society, though these texts are anything but simplistic, but rather riddled poetically. However, what is immediately conveyed and revealed is the lively and haunting presentation, full of energy and urgency - without ever resorting to platitudes. (...) (...) it is an essential charm of VEHICLE/PASSENGER that all these facets are organically connected. The music is completely freely improvised, in a very loose and abstract, flowing way; though even here, you will still sometimes encounter elements like bass grooves." -WDR 3
