Melbourne bassist Jordan Tarento’s debut, ‘Lattices’, showcases his evolving compositions with intricate interlocking patterns of percussive instruments, championing the enchanting sounds of marimba and glockenspiel
Featuring Australian stalwart musicians, Darryn Farrugia (drums), Darrin Archer (piano) and Hugh Stuckey (guitars), whilst representing Melbourne’s younger generation in Harry Tinney (guitar) and Zela Papageorgiou (percussion).
“In the years prior to writing Lattices, a period of getting heavily into the music of the Pat Metheny Group planted a seed of compositional ambition. In particular, the progressive, symphonic writing of long-form album ‘The Way Up’ left a deep, emotional mark” refects Jordan, reminiscing on the profound infuences that shaped this musical venture.
What truly sets Lattices apart, Jordan refects, is “the addition of marimba and glockenspiel in the jazz landscape. The shimmering, sparkling texture created by unison glockenspiel and piano melodies is something audiences will frst connect
with.” Upon further listening, the dense rhythmic orchestration of the large ensemble reveals itself. Jordan describes these interlocking, rhythmic textures as ‘lattices’, a term he coined during the composition process, and a concept to be featured across the album.
