World Jazz / World Fusion: Neon Egypt's unusual improvised Intuitive Music features Saxophones with the Taiko-like percussion of the Shendai Melodic Drums.
Newest album UNEARTHED released July 17, 2020. - Visit https://www.NeonEgypt.com
An outgrowth of the popular San Francisco "improv" quartet Tabula Rasa, Neon Egypt is considered to have pioneered a new jazz-based hybrid of Karlheinz Stockhausen's 'Intuitive Music'. Their debut album, Tales Of Kings, released in May of 2000, is considered a classic of this musical form, and the album's most popular song, Passage To Djibouti, has appeared in several feature settings.
Intuitive Jazz / World Fusion
Whether called Intuitive Jazz, World Jazz, or World Fusion, Neon Egypt's offering is unique. Expressive, free-flowing saxophone melodies float gracefully over Taiko-like melodic drum lines, featuring the one-of-a-kind Shendai Melodic Drums.
Intuitive Music
All of Neon Egypt's selections are "first takes" of spontaneously improvised Intuitive Music, recorded live. None of their pieces have a predetermined form or title, a key or time signature, or even a concept before play is begun. Each is truly a unique product of the moment. Yet each also has clear musicality, satisfying coherence and unmistakable structure. The broad foundation of melodic drum and percussion music created by the Shendai Drums allows master jazz saxophone soloist Harrison Goldberg freedom to weave an artful musical offering in real time. The result... well, you are invited to listen for yourself! You can read more of the story at NeonEgypt.com/intuitive-music.
