Nadi

Nadi is the second album by Munich based jazz quintet FAZER. The artwork was designed by local studio Daily Dialogue. The album title, Nadi, references a term rooted in traditional Indian medicine – they are channels that connect points of intensity within the body. This reflects the band’s feeling of moving as one while playing together. The use of fish on the artwork is related to the fact that this movement can also be found in the natural behaviour of fish swarms and that the album was recorded at London’s Fish Factory studio.

Munich quintet Fazer are set to release their second album 'Nadi' on 12th April 2019. 'Nadi' follows the underground success of their self-released debut 'Mara', which quickly sold out on vinyl and became one of the most streamed jazz records of the year. Moving freely between composition and improvisation, the band's spacious, organic sound pitches lyrical melodies from guitar and trumpet over double-drummer polyrhythmic grooves and dub-like basslines. The album title 'Nadi' references a term rooted in traditional Indian medicine. Nadis are channels that connect points of intensity within the body. This reflects the band's feeling while playing of moving as one body. Contrary to the creation of the group's debut album 'Mara', both the writing and recording sessions for 'Nadi' were completed in relatively short periods of time.
