With Roots and Things, bassist and composer Jakob Dreyer opens a new chapter in his artistic journey. Based in New York since 2014, he unveils his third album as a leader, a project driven by communicative energy, a pronounced taste for swing, and a new sonic palette.
After the two installments of Songs, Hymns and Ballads, Dreyer brings together here a remarkable quartet composed of vibraphonist Sasha Berliner, tenor saxophonist Pennicott, and drummer Salters. Together, they bring to life 15 original compositions as well as a revisited cover with freshness and personality.
Designed as a musical journey rich in contrasts, Roots and Things alternates energetic pieces, driving grooves, contemplative ballads, and short interludes that shape the listening experience. The vibraphone, at the heart of this new adventure, adds a luminous and distinctive color that immediately sets the album apart from its predecessors.
From the first notes of “The Fifth Floor” and “Constellation”, the group displays remarkable cohesion. Other tracks such as “June Tune”, “Downtime” or “Fight or Flight” illustrate the diversity of moods and Dreyer’s rich writing, always guided by a sense of melody and interaction.
With Roots and Things, Jakob Dreyer delivers an album that is both elegant, lively, and deeply rooted in the jazz tradition, while asserting a resolutely personal voice.
