Jazz Silhouette - The Perfect Rendezvous of East and West
Skyline's forth album "City Silhouette"

Jazz Silhouette - The Perfect Rendezvous of East and West

  • The winner of the 2020 Independent Music Awards for Best Live Performance Album has poured three years into producing its latest work.
  • Inspired by the idea of going “back to the roots,” this album blends jazz enlightenment and local culture.
  • Combines diverse music styles and local life for a sound that is modern yet retro, including Jazz Rock, R&B, Latin, Funk, Chillout, Aboriginal Ancient Tunes, Hakka Eight-Tones (Ba-Yin) and Fulao Folk Songs.
  • Featuring international jazz masters from the GRP era for an epoch-making jazz fusion album, including Eric Marienthal, Frank Gambale, Vinnie Colaiuta, and Abraham Laboriel.

After earning accolades for their last album, the members of Skyline have continued to imagine the possibilities of jazz fusion. Three years of pondering those possibilities led almost naturally to the idea of going “back to the roots,” with the glory of jazz fusion of the past providing endless inspiration.

The pioneering musicians of the 70's were wildly imaginative, innovative, and bold thinkers. They ushered in the era of jazz fusion by grabbing different styles of music and blending them into jazz. Their boldness wrote a brilliant new chapter in the story of jazz’s development, and jazz music entered an age where a kaleidoscope of styles flourished. Jazz musicians in the 80's continued to push the boundaries of jazz fusion. They defined the sound of the 80's that we all know with a variety of electric instruments, the use of more mature musical elements and an infusion of pop music. They freely added all sorts of musical elements onto the foundation of jazz, without the constraints of style, structure, and genre. This caused jazz fusion to evolve to have an even wider range of feeling and effect.

Over Skyline’s 10 plus years of creating original music, the members have always drawn inspiration from the greats of jazz fusion. At times, there’s a feeling of spiritual connection that transcends time and space. That inspiration set off the band’s grand plan to bring out the free and diverse spirit that is jazz fusion and integrate into this all-new album. Skyline wants to use the Western format of jazz music to present our roots in Taiwan, so as to take Aboriginal Ancient Tunes, Hakka Eight-Tones (Ba-Yin) and Fulao Folk Songs, all parts of Taiwan’s traditional music, and wrap them into the jazz fusion style. We hope to bring a new vibrance and life to that traditional music. We believe this isn’t just about inheriting and presenting music. Rather, it’s a matter of giving a concrete expression to the inner workings of a culture in order to create something that is at once retro and modern.

To fully convey this album’s concept and techniques, Skyline invited the best of jazz fusion to join us for recording: members of the Corea Elektric Band (saxophonist Eric Marienthal and guitarist Frank Gambale) and quintessential master musicians from GRP (jazz drummer Vinnie Colaiuta and bassist Abraham Laboriel) along with other musicians. Our goal was to produce a high standard and exquisite jazz performance album that has international impact.

TRACKS

1. Traffic Chaos  (feat. Vinnie Colaiuta)         

Urban traffic is a test of your humanity. Sometimes, traffic flows smoothly, at other times it’s nothing but gridlock. Driving is an emotional rollercoaster. It’s anxiety inducing!

The tempo of this song remains constant, but it offers the excitement of cars changing speed by using rhythmic displacement. Jazz drummer Vinnie Colaiuta’s outstanding drumming techniques bring this song to perfection.

2. Bar Hopping (feat. Abraham Laboriel)            

You feel a rush of liberation when the work day is over. The night starts by gathering with different friends. You talk about anything and everything over drinks before running off to the next bar~

Pop music’s rhythm gives the night a sleek feeling. For this song, the bass is the main character of the story, featuring one solo after another by bassist Abraham Laboriel. Each scene changes with the rhythm of the music for a fun-filled night!

3. Hit the Gym! (feat. Frank Gambale)    

Gyms have become all the rage in cities. If you want to be fit and professional, then you’ve got to pay attention to the order of your exercises~

The structure of this song captures the workout process: warming up, getting on the treadmill, hitting the weights, doing aerobic exercises, and wrapping up with a cool down routine. The retro rhythm of jazz rock from the 80s symbolizes the heart’s constant beating. Guitarist Frank Gambale’s astounding guitar solo will get your blood pumping!

4. Wandering in Hills (feat. Eric Marienthal)

You leave the city behind to enjoy a holiday outdoors. The beauty of mountains and forests is so close you can touch it, and the scents of nature lift your spirits and ease your pent-up emotions and stress.

This song employs short and crisp Latin rhythms as the tune twists and turns like the change of light and shadow on the mountains. Master saxophonist Eric Marienthal’s beautiful melody on the soprano sax is like a pleasant breeze filled with joy that will bring you comfort.

(Guest musician: Percussion/ Alex Wu)

5. A Fine Day                        

A lively and energetic piano rhythm starts the prelude for the day. A gentle duet featuring a nylon-string guitar and saxophone tell the story of people helping each other in the city as they all march for their dreams.

(Arrangement for horn session: Jazzy Su/ Jimmy Lee, Guest Musicians: Trumpet/ Danny Deysher, Trombone/ Michael Wang, Tenor Saxophone/J immy Lu, Percussion: Alex Wu)

6. Walk in the City                    

Wander the city streets as your heart desires and enjoy the contours of the city at your own pace. This pop jazz tune has a catchy guitar riff that contrasts with the gentle sound of the aerophone. This song features a cheerful and smooth guitar style inspired by George Benson that will make you want to dance to the music with its free and light feeling.

(Arrangement for horn session: Jimmy Lee, Arranged by: Sylvie Chen/ Jazzy Su, Guest Musician: Trumpet/ Danny Deysher, Trombone/ Michael Wang, Tenor Saxophone EWI/ Jimmy Lu, Percussion/ Alex Wu)

7. Around the Corner    

Street corners are a dramatic event. People appear and disappear when turning the corner. Maybe it’s a turn toward happiness, but it could also be a sorrowful turn. Even if we’ve parted ways, our memories together will never fade. Let’s look forward to the day we can bump into each other on the street once again!

This song is the album’s only gentle and emotional slow song. The meticulously composed synth bass line is weaved through out the song and responds like a lover’s whisper to the melody of the electric guitar. It’s the perfect song for a night that is quiet and still.

(Guest Musician: Percussion/ Alex Wu)

8. Christmas Dance                    

Besides being a time for families to gather together, Christmas is a heart-warming season for couples. This song tells the story of a woman who has gently turned down her partner’s surprise on Christmas day and suggests that they part ways. In the part, they had faced unfairness and difficulties. The man wants to make things right but decides ultimately to forgive himself. He continues to move on.

(Arrangement for horn session: Peter Yu, Jimmy Lee, Guest musicians: Trumpet/ Xian Huang, Danny Deysher, Trombone/ Michael Wang, Tenor Saxophone/ Jimmy Lu)

9. Highway Ride

You fiddle with your windblown hair and grip the steering wheel. You don’t plan to find a place to stop. You drive to wherever your heart takes you. Who cares about the speedometer? With nothing but beautiful scenery, this is the life!

(Arrangement for horn session: Jimmy Lee, Guest musicians: Trumpet/ Danny Deysher, Trombone/ Michael Wang, Tenor Saxophone/ Jimmy Lu)

Bonus Tracks:

10. Aboriginal Ancient Tunes

This song is an adaptation of ancient songs from the Paiwan tribe: “Quina Naluwan” (Thoughts So Lonely),“Sine Venga” (A Dance Full of Memories) as well the song "Wish" created by Paiwan artist Seredew Tariyajan (San Mei Juan). The pentatonic scale used by indigenous and world music share a long history that many musicians search for and recreate. Taiwan is rich in its indigenous music and is a point of pride! This ancient song has been redone in a jazz style to create a new tune with Latin rhythm and percussion. The song is done in 15/8 that gets turned into 4/4 and features indigenous vocals as well as a traditional mouth harp.

(Arrangement: Martin "Musa" Musaubach, Composition: Seredew Tariyajan, Guest Musician: Percussion/ Alex Wu, Vocal/ Seredew Tariyajan, Mouth Harp & Vocal/ Laka Umaw, Transcription and Sampling/ Sylvie Chen)

11. Hakka Eight-Tones (Ba-Yin) 

Adapted from the Hakka Ba-Yin song known as “Song of Fengyang,” this song is brimming with jubilation. Electronic music is used to relate the joy of the past and transfers this joyous melody from long ago to our modern lives. Celebratory music never fades. Each generation shines in its own way!

(Guest Musician: Suona/ Jimmy Lu, Transcription and Sampling/ Sylvie Chen)

12. Fulao Folk Songs

This song is derived from the classic Hengchun folk songs “Recalling” and “Hengchun Melody.” The song blends chillout with a gospel arrangement and Dilla groove. It features two key instruments that represent Fulao folk songs: the six-stringed yueqin and two-stringed kezixian. The song conveys the heat and laid-back feeling of southern Taiwan in an unadorned fashion. 

(Arrangement: Martin "Musa" Musaubach, Guest Musicians: Percussion/ Alex Wu, Kezixian/ Shih Wei Hsiao, Six-string Yueqin, Transcription and Sampling/ Sylvie Chen)
