about

“An excellent contribution to the ongoing tradition of the tenor saxophone/drums duo.”
— Tony Dudley-Evans (London Jazz news)

“One of the best duos I’ve listened to so far” ★★★★ 1/2 - Fotis Nikolakopoulos (Freejazzblog)

★★★★ - Selwyn Harris (Jazzwise)

“From Where Light Falls documents the growing musical chemistry between two musicians of different nationalities and generations (...) both musicians bring a wealth of ideas to the table." - Ian Mann (The Jazzmann)



Award winning saxophonist Ed Jones and young drummer Emil Karlsen comes together for their first outing ‘from where light falls’ on FMR records. Consisting of 8 distinct improvisations, this record showcases their journey as a duo documented through the lockdown months in the autumn of 2020. With a shared sense of aesthetics, they aim to express themselves freely through the boundaries of their instruments with an explorative mindset towards the sax/drums format. They are both active on the UK/European jazz and improvised music scene collaborating with musicians such as Evan Parker, John Stevens, London Improvisers Orchestra and Philipp Wachsmann to mention some. ‘from where light falls’ represents a new explorative duo on the improvised music scene.

liner notes:
“The music on "from where light falls" was born out of a desire to create new music in a time of immense challenges and restrictions for everyone in the world. I first met Emil when he was an undergraduate student on the Jazz Pathway at Leeds Conservatoire. Last autumn of 2020 he joined the Master's Post Graduate course and we discussed the possibility of setting up a play together settling on a regular Monday night meeting with social distancing and other precautionary safety measures in place After a few of these and listening back to some phone recordings it became clear that there was a strong musical connection developing. We then planned a
series of sessions to properly record and document these Monday Night meetings. These recordings are from October to December. Every Monday we would finish playing and exit onto the streets of an eerily deserted city night. This music isn't about that specifically, but it was created from that time.”

- Ed Jones (march 2021)
