Remedy, the boundary-pushing collective known for their raw improvisational prowess, today announces the release of Remedy + Aki Takase, a luminous fusion of avant-garde jazz and experimental soundscapes. Teaming up with Japanese piano virtuoso Aki Takase—celebrated for her collaborations with legends like Lester Bowie and her pivotal role in global free jazz—this album marks a triumphant meeting of generations and genres.
Recorded live in Berlin's vibrant jazz scene, Remedy + Aki Takase captures eight tracks of unbridled creativity. Takase's crystalline piano weaves through Remedy's pulsating rhythms, electric textures, and poetic spoken elements, creating moments of transcendent beauty and bold disruption. Standout tracks like "Echoes in the Void" and "Fractured Light" showcase Takase's signature melodic daring alongside Remedy's signature intensity, pushing the boundaries of what jazz can be in 2025.
"Aki Takase is a force of nature—her touch transforms everything it meets,". "This album isn't just a collaboration; it's a remedy for the soul, blending our raw energy with her timeless wisdom."
