AKKU
QUINTET |

Over
in Switzerland, the band known as Akku Quintet are busy redefining
the course of progressive jazz fusion music. With the bands
second CD, entitled Molecules, Akku has recorded
a kind of masterpiece of 21st century instrumental jazz-rock music.
The bands drummer Manuel Pasquinelli continues making
waves with the Swiss fusion band Sonar and, with Akku he assumes a
unique role of guiding yet another band to international acclaim.
Assisting Manuel are a group of excellent musicians, including guitarist
Markus Ischer. The sound is not unlike Sonar, yet theres
also a kind of free form, blissful chill-out groove sound similar
to late period Gong, when yet another drummer, Pierre Moerlin, led
that band. That percussive, highly rhythmic, super charged energy,
that Moerlin brought to Gong, is also in abundance, in its own unique
way, on Akkus 2015 Molecules CD. Not only does Pasquinelli
excel behind the kit, but, as the CD proves, hes also an excellent
composer and band leader. On their 2015 CD, Molecules, Manuel
Pasquinelli and company demonstrates the power and the glory of artistically
composed and performed instrumental jazz-rock fusion. www.facebook.com
