Jérémie Ternoy Trio BLOC Selling Points The music of the Jérémie Ternoy Trio is rough, sophisticated, vigorous, melancholy, modern, and romantic. Jazz is central, but the influences of Chick Corea and Paul Bley mingle with those of Bartók and Satie. Ternoy composed all of the pieces, but improvisation is of crucial importance. The musicians, true virtuosos, forge a discourse that is at once meaningful, sensitive, and complementary. The listener will hear not only the beauty of the chords, but also the sound of breathing bodies and the creaking of stools. That is the challenge this trio has set for itself—to hide nothing.

In the words of founder Gene Pritsker, the band’s motto is “to put an end to the splitting-up of sound vibrations,” which may also be understood to mean the decategorization of musical genres.

• On their second album, Pritsker & Co. rap, zap, hip, and hop through a variety of different musical styles and eras. Mozart encounters his clarinet quintet in a klezmer version, funk goes pop, soul meets the Bach cantatas, and Brahms’ symphonic sound is dissolved in jazz chamber music.

• Throughout the album, the band whose hip-hop opera Money has been praised from New York to Milan changes its shape as often as its style, appearing in variations ranging from quartet to the full dozen.

Thanks to the careful selection of artists and a skillful blending of Asian musical culture and Western technical innovations, the company is producing an especially enjoyable brand of new age music.” — Purpleprose “Pacific Moon releases routinely and successfully bridge the gap between the continents, combining the mysticism and sensitivities of the East with the rhythm and harmonies of the West. The music delights the ears, the graphics entice the eyes, and their incense (included in every CD) tickles the olfactory nerves.”
