ALEX KOO, MARK TURNER, RALPH ALESSI - APPLEBLUESEAGREEN

Belgian jazz pianist Alex Koo is someone you should definitely check out.
This morning, I enjoyed two albums that I received as a digital download. (thank you !)

  • Alex Koo, Mark Turner, Ralph Alessi: Appleblueseagreen
        (2019, download / streaming, --, bandcamp)
Released on CD by the Clever Tree Records label in 2019.
Alex Koo on piano (and keyboard and drums), Mark Turner on tenor sax, and Ralph Alessi on trumpet.

Meandering, relaxing, dreamy,...

APPLEBLUESEAGREEN (a literal translation of the Flemish word 'appelblauwzeegroen') is a color with an ambiguous personality. It WANDERS LONELY somewhere in between the DUNES of green and blue. The now GHOSTLY origins of this expression are unclear and its meaning has changed in the MARCH of time.

BUT APPLES ARE GREEN. THE SEA IS BLUE. Perhaps if the BODILY parts would have been MIRRORED, it could have changed the course of its PILOT. Fortunately, even though the composition of the word has been resting in a DORMANT state, by no means are we planning for its FUNERAL.

APPLEBLUESEAGREEN is a shifting FLUID, offering FREEDOM within imaginary WALLS. We each look at its PARADE with a different GAZE.
