Root70: Jilt

The quartet of Root70 have made a name as a band that isn’t afraid to push the boundaries of Jazz, and during their exhaustive world tours have had the time to experiment with all manner of groove massaging and melodic invention. Together with alto wizard Hayden Chisholm, Nils Wogram has this time dived into a world of lush microtones, dividing up the once sacred octave into 24 parts, and serving us melodies that are nothing like anything we have heard before in jazz.
Root 70 took a break from their April 09 tour to record a live version of Live on 52nd ¼ Street at the Loft, Cologne, with a select audience of students from the music academy there.
