Hummucide are a well established group of musicians originally based in Wellington (although now working round the world) “Heavy Jazz” is the way they describe their sound, and that's an accurate phrase- and a rather nifty one, too. Tides is the group's first full length album release and it's the result of an extensive and extended process of crafting and refining.
The two main composers in the group are Ben Stewart (keyboards) and Toby Leman (saxophone). They set up the musical contexts with real skill, creating frameworks that allow drummer Lennox Grootjans, bassists Hugo Olsen Smith and Zane Hawkins, vocalist Kat Little and guitarist Luca Sturny to make considerable - if not essential - contributions to an improvisatory yet cohesive musical landscape.
The best of the Jazz groups always have a ‘greater than sum of the parts’ aspect to their sound, and Hummucide has a real awareness and understanding of the ways that an ensemble can develop this.
An initial listen reveals a wide range of instrumental textures, especially with the keyboards, which hark back to those early days of “jazz/rock” such as Weather Report et all. What is apparent right away is the balance between sophisticated composition techniques and instrumental skill. Its engaging, intelligent music delivered with a thoroughly musical sensibility from all concerned.
Tides is a very powerful collection of music. Hummucide show individual and collective playing of the highest calibre, enabled by a considered and intelligent compositional approach. The whole album rewards multiple listens, and one can't help but be very curious indeed about what to expect next from them. (www.muzic.net.nz)
