21st June 2016: Dee Byrne’s ‘Entropi’ ft. Andre Canniere, Rebecca Nash, Olie Brice and Matt Fisher to release new album supported by PRSF ‘Women Make Music’ programme + show dates and London Jazz podcast.
“Pushing the boundaries of recognisable elements from across modern jazz history yet always retaining strong, lively tunes and exhilarating band interplay.”
Manchester Jazz Festival
Whirlwind Recordings is pleased to announce that Dee Byrne’s Entropi will release a new album in 2017.
Entropi is a vehicle for Dee Byrne’s ‘space-jazz’ compositions, exploring a narrative of life-pondering, stargazing and risk-taking. Juggling order and chaos, composition and improvisation, the group takes listeners on a journey with compelling group interplay, strong themes, open-ended improvisation, dark grooves and interweaving melodic textures.
The ensemble comprises alto saxophonist Dee Byrne, trumpeter Andre Canniere, keyboardist Rebecca Nash, drummer Matt Fisher and bassist Olie Brice. Having performed live together for some time, the band has achieved a striking empathy and freedom to take risks
This recording is supported by Women Make Music, a PRSF funding opportunity that supports the development of outstanding women songwriters and composers of all genres and backgrounds at different stages of their career. The fund supports projects by women songwriters, composers, artists, bands and performers who write their own music. Dee recently talked to London Jazz (listen on the website) about the PRSF grant and the recording.
