Founded in 2016 by Swiss drummer Noe Tavelli, Noe Tavelli and The Argonauts Collective is an ensemble that brings together some of the most promising young European jazz musicians. Their music, which is collectively shaped and written, is fed by the influence and dynamism of the New York Jazz scene, as each member of the band has spent extended time in the “Big Apple.” The band, a chord-less quartet, offers a smart and ambitious blend of traditional and modern jazz combining both complex form and freedom. Marcel Papaux wrote of the present release: “Beautiful enchanting music, steeped in tradition and delivered by musicians in perfect symbiosis.” This smart and ambitious blend of traditional and modern jazz combines both complex form and freedom.
