Dion Kerr’s album eko vizion meusik features an all-star ensemble, while its live incarnation takes the form of a condensed trio featuring drummer Miguel Russell and guitarist Tim Watson. The album’s unique spelling reflects Kerr’s vision of breaking musical and linguistic boundaries, merging futuristic textures, lush harmonies, and bombastic grooves. Kerr’s virtuosic bass playing, spanning both electric and upright bass, anchors the sound. Kerr engineered and produced the album in his home studio, blending classical guitar influences with South Florida’s eclectic soundscapes through cutting-edge sound design and field recordings. Already cultivating a growing underground following, eko vizion meusik stands as a bold statement on the evolving future of modern jazz.
Nateland is a new project by bassist and composer Nate Coben, blending influences from jazz, gospel, soul, indie, and Afro-Caribbean music.
