Alexandra Ivanova presents her debut album “Beauty in Chaos” released on Double Moon Records in the series “Jazz thing Next Generation” vol. 99
Sensitivity and captivating rhythms characterize the sound of the Berlin-based Alexandra Ivanova Trio led by the Austrian pianist and composer of Bulgarian roots who has experienced a range of cultural influences, giving her an “unorthodox approach to her compositions” (All About Jazz). With Lisa Hoppe on double bass and Nathan Ott on drums, the trio navigates between Jazz, influences of Maqam, Arabic classical music, odd meters from the Balkan and Afro-Cuban claves. Alexandra's compositions stem from a deep journey into the self. Her arrangements of Arabic and Azeri standards or Icelandic folklore invite the listener to look at the world from different points of view: from the East, the West or from somewhere in between. In her spoken word / jazz-rap pieces, Alexandra also takes a stance on current personal and political topics, questioning the Eurocentric canon.
Recently back from Havana Jazz Plaza Festival 2024, the trio has previously toured Europe, Saudi Arabia and opened the Cairo Jazz Festival 2023 featuring special guest vocalist Lynn Adib (FR/SYR) with whom they collaborated for the album’s title track. “Beauty in Chaos is an engaging album which often has a mysterious feel, perhaps born out of the mix of cultural elements. There are moments of beauty in every track, and enough turns and changes in the arrangements to keep listeners entertained throughout.” (All About Jazz)
“Ivanova is a fluent, inventive pianist and Lukassen and Ott, constantly juggling time and improvisation, provide splendid rhythmic support.” (All About Jazz)
“In every sense of the word, a musician out of the ordinary” (Jazz thing)
