Kaos Protokoll Release Their New LP ‘Everyone Nowhere’

It is easy to get caught up in the romanticism of various periods of jazz, whether it be the swinging sounds of 40s bebop, 60s cool or the 70s spiritual and edgier period. Imagery of musicians making their treks between St. Louis and Chicago, on over to bustling Harlem nights prompt vivid flashes of Charlie Parker and Miles Davis jamming on stage with the skillful drumming of Max Roach powering behind them. Whilst for some these moments hold dear with a strong arm protection like the Mona Lisa in the Louvre, if you’re a jazz band from Switzerland, it would almost seem rational to work extra hard to remotely follow-up behind some of the legacies that were left in the genre. However with Swiss group Kaos Protokoll’s latest LP ‘Everyone Nowhere’, the band have opted to simply do their own thing, making a journey into their truths about a sound that they simply love to play.

KAOS Protokoll’s ‘New Chapter’ is a Deep Journey into Musical Expressionism

Jazz - a music that has been a source of cultural and spiritual connections of a people trapped in a cruel web of uncertainty; a sound that has undergone multiple transformations over decades whilst simultaneously taking the world by storm. This was the form of expression for a charismatic trumpeter from New Orleans to a North Carolina-born saxophonist who used it to communicate to the heavens above, proving the ultimate supremacy was that of love. Yet in 2018 with the general public's ears being more attuned to synth-driven pop songs or bass-quaking trap music, where jazz stands in the mainstream psyche is indeed that of question. However the counter question is, does it really matter? When the music is produced with passion, heart and respect it will find its way to touch the emotions of people.
