Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Jazz Double Bassist David Arend of Alchemy Sound Project .. He opened up about their new 2021 CD Afrika Love, this COVID world we are all surviving, his history in music and the band’s lineage .. Sessions for Afrika Love took place in January 2018 and the album’s title was borrowed from the composition that reflects the band’s keen awareness that this recording arrives in the wake of one of the most tumultuous years in recent U.S. history — a pivotal period in which race relations and social justice protests have taken center stage. David is a freelance artist who moves easily across classical, jazz, electronic, avant garde and singer/songwriter contexts and the band was formed in 2014 two years after the group’s members met in Los Angeles at the Jazz Composers Orchestra Institute .. It’s a great story .. Enjoy ..
