By buying Gjazz5, you're helping organizations like Avaaz, which needs money to transform a threatened piece of paradise, a large area of ocean off the west coast of Arica, into a beautiful marine reserve. If this doesn't happen, this (one of the last remaining) natural strongholds on Earth will likely be destroyed by commercial fishing, like so many other places have been destroyed. Or Carbon Click, an Auckland-based company specializing in carbon footprint offsetting. Olivier will post regular updates and donation receipts on his website olivierholland.com so you know what happens to the money.
For the album "Gjazz5," German-New Zealand bassist, composer, and music teacher Olivier Holland assembled a (literally) unique band of his favorite musicians: Geoffrey Keezer (USA), Terreon Gully (USA), Denis Gaebel (GER), Roger Manins (NZ), and special guest Joscho Stephan (GER). Gully and Keezer share four Grammy nominations, although Keezer declined Miles Davis's offer to play in his band. Gaebel is one of Europe's leading tenor saxophonists, and Manins is the same in Australasia.
The long-awaited release of the Gjazz5 album is a colossal milestone. Oli reflects on his 30 albums (as collaborator and initiator) and calls Gjazz5 his "flagship" project. Three years of production, multiple trips to Europe to record, mix, master, and more, took place at the renowned Fattoria Musica in Germany. Twelve of Oli's pieces were recorded, as well as Terreon Gully's composition "Tanktified," which was mixed at the Fattoria and then mastered in LA by Grammy Award-winning Kelly Hibbert. The result: 3 tracks with an astonishing sound, each one unique in its own right: There's funk, afro-style, hip hop, disco, salsa, odd time signatures, ballads, and much more. A dazzling mix of genres infused with jazz that simply has to be "checked out"!
