Об исполнителе (группе)
Awards:
2010 MOBO awards – BEST JAZZ ACT
2009 Parliamentary Jazz Awards- BEST ENSEMBLE
2007 EBU/European Jazz Competition – WINNER
2007 Peter Whittingham Award – WINNER
2007 Jazzwise – ALBUM OF THE YEAR
2007 Mojo – JAZZ ALBUM OF THE YEAR
Empirical's smart post-bop style has drawn admiring notices on both sides of the Atlantic. Their debut recording went on to be voted Jazzwise magazine's album of the year, and Mojo magazine's jazz album of the year. Expertly incorporating elements of classical, African and Cuban musical forms into its original, sophisticated, fresh-sounding jazz, Empirical make a point of not being centred around a specific front line or leader; it is very much a complete band, each member contributing equally, adding their own facets to the overall sound.
In May 2008, Empirical collected the Ensemble of the Year prize at the annual Parliamentary Jazz Awards, held at the House of Commons, and organised by the All Party Parliamentary Jazz Appreciation Group. This award was just the latest in a succession of accolades the band has picked up in its short lifetime: Empirical's award-winning assault on the jazz scene began at the North Sea Jazz Festival in July 2007 when they won the inaugural EBU/European Jazz Competition; this was followed later that year by the Peter Whittingham Jazz Award.
Empirical returned triumphant from their appearance at the iconic Newport Jazz Festival (Rhode Island, USA) last summer. During his introduction, Jason Olaine, vice president of programming for The Festival Network, acknowledged that it was no mean feat to receive a standing ovation at New York Jazz Festival, as Empirical did when they opened for The Bad Plus in June 2008; needless to say, their performance at Newport garnered another standing ovation. As well as their victorious return to the North Sea Jazz Festival, and their US sojourn, Empirical also performed at several other international jazz gatherings last year, including Canada's Vancouver, Victoria, Toronto and Montreal jazz festivals, receiving stand ovations at each.
Об альбоме (сборнике)
The Guardian once commented that "Empirical have become fascinating and fearless" and their fourth album Tabula Rasa is evidence that this is still very much the case. Never a band to shy away from taking risks, Tabula Rasa is a double album and marks yet another new direction from the band once dubbed by the Daily Telegraph as "the coolest of Britain's young jazz bands". Now come of age, they are considered one of the UK's most highly acclaimed jazz outfits and Tabula Rasa is the next chapter in their developing story, consolidating ideas first explored on their previous Naim Jazz albums ‘Out'n'In' (2009) and ‘Elements of Truth' (2011).
The line-up remains the same as the previous two albums: Nathaniel Facey alto saxophone, Shaney Forbes drums, Tom Farmer bass and Lewis Wright vibraphone, but is here augmented by strings from the Benyounes Quartet whom the band met during a tenure as Golubovich Jazz Scholars at the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. The use of strings had been in the band's mind for a number of years, but keen to avoid just ‘adding' strings to their sound they instead treated them as a compositional tool with each piece exploring a different concept of the string quartet tradition. Able to explore more classical influences as a result, the band have also been able to take their improvising into hitherto unexplored directions.
Those familiar with Empirical's music will know that experimentation and observation have always been key - forming the basis of 2011's ‘Elements of Truth' - and on Tabula Rasa they are as vital as ever. Not only have they taken the bold step of working with strings, they have also embraced the theme of storytelling, something they began to explore during their research into Eric Dolphy for ‘Out'n'In'. Tabula Rasa is therefore an anthology of sorts, with each track being a story or character in its own right. Bellsonian Scales depicts an alter ego, outgoing and slightly mad whereas Scoffie is an aspect of a character, cheeky, fun and humorous. Real life characters the band members have encountered also feature; One For ‘Bones' Jones' was inspired by a martial artist from the UFC. A biblical story forms the basis for A Simple Light and is about finding beauty in simplicity, whilst Ascent and Descent describe the spiritual journey either up to a better place, or down to a worse place. Although there is no voice to guide the listener, there is a cinematic quality to the tracks, which though complex and rich, leads us effortlessly through an entire double album of original music.
Ask who their influences are and the band are reluctant to be drawn on the subject - and rightly so. With their ethos of 'Gathering Knowledge through experiment and observation' their work is a reflection of the times, where music of almost any genre is readily available to anyone, so the crucial idea is to keep looking forward. Throughout their career they have inevitably been labelled in many ways but Tabula Rasa, Latin for ‘blank slate', invites the listener to approach the music with an open mind, free of preconception to draw from it what they will.
