Ujig - The Necessity of Falling (2018)

 

The second album from this band from Italy.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars and keyboards.

I had the joy of reviewing their 2015 debut album 8 Out Of 8. In the review, I wrote that the band has released three albums. This is not correct, as I discovered in Discogs. The band has indeed released four albums. So I put reviewing their third album on hold and started to listen to this, their second album instead.

This album is a forty minutes long album and we are again being treated to jazz. Their record label Ma.Ra.Cash Records has labeled it as a fusion album.

It is true that the band has moved far more towards fusion on this album compared to their rather orthodox jazz album. But we are still talking about a jazz album here. That is not a bad thing.

There is a lot of half-acoustic and electric guitars here and a lot of piano and keyboards too.

The music is pretty melodic and an upgrade from their debut album. This band has matured a lot since their debut album, according to the music on this album. 

The result is a good album and one to check out if you are into jazz and/or fusion.
