about
Jubilee is Brooklyn-based drummer Tima Volozh’s debut album which encapsulate the diverse influences that have shaped his musical journey. It features Paul Motian alumni Jerome Harris (bass) and Brad Shepik (guitar) along with Timo Vollbrecht (saxophone) and Noah Franche-Nolan (piano). The music, featuring both originals and standards, is rooted in the legacy of Black American Music, with a particular emphasis on drummers like Motian, Ed Blackwell, Al Foster, Jack DeJohnette and Vernell Fournier.

Liner Notes by David Blake:

One thing I love about drummer led albums is the tendency to showcase the collaborative efforts of all the band members. Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers and Paul Motian’s Electric Bebop Band come to mind as examples of drummer helmed groups whose prolific leaders allowed their musicians to shape much of the musical direction, while fiercely commanding the band from the drum throne. Tima Volozh stays true to the tradition here with this quintet which, perhaps not coincidentally, features two veterans of Paul Motian’s groups: guitarist Brad Shepik and bass guitarist Jerome Harris.
