The Whale

“I feel complete but I don’t know yet,” goes the break on “More than Ever,” the second track on Said the Whale’s new album, As Long as Your Eyes Are Wide. It’s a perfect line that sums up the sunny but unflinching self-reflection that accompanies one’s late-20s/ early-30s. Those heavy meditations on what it means to be a grownup and the sensation of catching up with our parents, bosses, authority figures, and realizing that adulthood is nothing like what we imagined as kids.

"Under the Whale" (2005) is an album by the Cholet Känzig Papaux Trio, a jazz trio featuring Bruno Cholet on piano, Bänz Oester on bass, and Philippe Zaugg on drums. The trio, while not as widely known as some of the other jazz acts, has garnered attention for their ability to blend modern jazz with elements of contemporary European jazz and avant-garde influences. Under the Whale is an intriguing exploration of improvisation, harmonies, and textures, showcasing the trio's ability to create a unique soundscape that is both sophisticated and experimental.
