Contemporary Noise Sextet / Quartet / Quintet biography
Contemporary Noise Quintet was formed in Bydgoszcz (one of the centre of Polish experimental jazz fusion "yass" movement) by brothers Kapsa (Bartek - percussion and Kuba - piano) after their former emo/hardcore/post-rock band Something Like Elvis was disbanded in 2003. Band's music was energetic mix of contemporary jazz, improves and film music. Debut album "Pig Inside The Gentleman" was released in autumn 2006.
After some changes in line-up, band became Sextet, having on board next musicians (besides of Kapsa brothers): Tomek Glazik - saxophones (Kult, ex-4Syfon, Sing, Sing Penelope), Wojtek Jahna - trumpet (Sing, Sing Penelope, Mordy) and the guitar player Kamil Pater who joined the band in November 2006 and lately Patryk Weclawek (bass) who replaced Pawel Urowski.
Band's second album ("Theatre Play Music", 2008) was recorded as musical piece for one of Warsaw theatre and released by Contemporary Noise Quartet ( Kapsa brothers, Kamil Pater (guitar) and Patryk Węcławek (vert. bass)). Third and last to time band's album "Unaffected Thought Flow" was released later same year, but in full line-up (as Sextet).
Combining very professionally played contemporary jazz, melodic film music with some chamber elements, improvisations and brass arrangement, Contemporary Noise Sextet is one of the leading Polish modern progressive fusion band.

Review by snobb
Special Collaborator Honorary Collaborator

4 stars Third album of this Polish nu jazz band is most matured. If previous one, released same year (recorded by Quartet) was obviously minimalistic and in fact was more soundtrack for theatrical play, than real album, this album is real full-bodied release.

Music there is really pleasant mix of downtown sax explosive noise and soft, melodic and elegant Rhodes-led nu jazz in key of Jaga Jazzist or Elephant9. Compositions are may be not very memorable,but quite different in tempos and structures. Plenty of sax over the Rhodes give pleasant and very energetic feeling to all music.

In tradition of nu jazz all music has it accent not in soloing or musical mastership of musicians, but more on atmosphere, and this work really succeeds in it.

Mostly easy accessible, tasteful music, great release for fans of progressive nu jazz. My rating is 3,5, rounded to 4.

Thanks to snobb for the artist addition.
