Premature Recordings present Ottomani Parker, a collision of jazz and dub techno.
Ottomani Parker blends live dubbing of Abraham Parker’s trumpet, Izz Karpel's saxophone, Hayato Takahashi's keys and synths, and Bint Mbareh's voice into an unbound array of rhythms, samples and percussive elements, with Big Hands at the controls. Their sound - which has found a home on labels such as Trule, Baroque Sunburst, Marionette and Blank Mind - borrows from Basic Channel, Miles Davis and Jon Hassell, with a heavy current of dub running beneath compositions and live shows. The group’s performances often involve other musicians (Yusuf Ahmed, Buster Woodruff-Bryant, Alabaster De Plume and Andrea Campisi), and are always steeped in improvisation.
