POINT OF FEW
=====
Point of Few is a new Czech instrumental quartet organically connecting the worlds of modern jazz, popular and electronic music. The band has an extremely fresh and original sound, their music is colorful, adventurous and changeable like the current era.
The band was formed in 2019 and used the subsequent period strongly affected by the pandemic to experiment and find its own way. After the release of the video-EP Live Sessions and the 2nd place in the JazzFruit 2020 competition, it now comes with a mature and profiled debut called Open to Closeness. For the album, she invited a guest of the highest quality, New York keyboardist, producer and sound magician Jason Lindner, who you can hear on David Bowie's last, iconic album Blackstar, or perhaps in the bands of Donna McCaslin and Mark Guiliana.
The band draws inspiration eclectically from contemporary jazz and popular music and naturally connects these worlds into one. An important influence is the current New York jazz scene and musicians such as Justin Brown, James Francies or Robert Glasper, but sometimes echoes of earlier jazz idols such as Pat Metheny or Bill Frisell can be heard from their work. From the field of popular music, it is a varied mix ranging from David Bowie to Radiohead to Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Despite the fact that their compositions often have unconventional forms or use odd meters, they still sound like songs with separate worlds, telling stories.
