Zettalogue is a lively and upbeat collection of seven original pieces by jazz pianist/composer Ivo Neame and is his tenth album under his own name. Neame is recognized by audiences as well as critics as one of the finest pianists on the Contemporary European jazz scene and is known for his impressive contributions to the genre with Kairos Quartet, Phronesis, and Marius Neset, to name a few. On Zettalogue, Neame is joined by British jazz musicians Tom Farmer on double bass, James Maddren on drums and percussion, and George Crowley on tenor sax. If you are looking for music to fall asleep to, this album probably won’t work for you, but the amazing spirit and musicianship of Neame and company can certainly transport you to a place of freedom and optimism.
Three years in the making, Zettalogue includes new original compositions as well as fresh interpretations of older pieces. A few of the tracks were released as singles before the full album. Known for his in-depth explorations of complex rhythms and meters from around the world, Neame’s music includes influences from Karnatic music (South Indian classical music), Hip-Hop and West African music as well as his artistic curiosity to craft intricate and energetic frameworks for his compositions.
In addition to composing and performing, Neame is an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music, an Associate Member of PRS and a Professor of Jazz Piano at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. He is also a member of the Featured Artists’ Coalition and the Ivors Academy Jazz Committee.
