"... But this music is damn gripping and radiates international flair, with an atmosphere that sounds as cool and funky as Herbie Hancock once did on his Blue Note Days, and full of ambitious passion with an independent character, yet very entertaining, and at a high level... "

About the album

In times like these you need groups. Bands. Bringing people together within a creative process.

Calling on this plain fact Stuttgart native Martin Sörös promptly brought together four of the most sought-after and prolific musicians of the young German jazz-scene and founded his r’n’b infused jazz-ensemble Dr. Syros.

Take Munich-based trumpeter Julian Hesse for example who during the past years has established himself as an inventive and technically superb instrumentalist and composer, or Daniel Mudrack, who is not only a sublime drummer, but also responsible for innovative sound concepts as can be heard on the debut album. Grounded by gig-hardened bassist and jazz-laureate Sebastian Schuster the band is indeed moving forward, leaving behind stereotypes and not giving a dime about styles and definitions. Whether one wants to call it jazz or hiphop is up to the critics – fact is that four intriguing musicians come together celebrating the musical moment. Signing with Challenge Records (NL) their debut album “Joint Practice” will be released on November 2nd 2018.

So… lean back and listen or grab your feet and dance! Both is possible and it should be. No one calls in a joint practice for only one treatment, right? That‘s right. The reciprocity between rhythm and sound, the combination of jazz and hiphop that can be heard on this album might disable all those common listening patterns that one is used to. Joint Practice was created for fun. Serious fun though, after all we‘re talking about four serious musicians, who are creating this sound in order to present their idea of modern r‘n‘b infused jazz.

In Zeiten wie diesen braucht man Gruppen, Bands. Man muss Menschen in einem kreativen Prozess zusammen bringen.
Der Stuttgarter Martin Sörös brachte prompt vier der gefragtesten und produktivsten Musiker der jungen deutschen Jazzszene zusammen und gründete sein mit r'n'b angereichertes Jazz-Ensemble Dr. Syros.
Dr. Syros ist eine Band, die deutlich die offensichtliche Handschrift ihres Namensgebers trägt, da die meisten Kompositionen von Sörös geschrieben wurden, aber natürlich ist jedes der Bandmitglieder in den Prozess der Suche nach einer musikalischen Identität eingebunden.
Zum Beispiel der Münchner Trompeter Julian Hesse, der sich in den letzten Jahren als erfinderischer und technisch ausgezeichneter Instrumentalist und Komponist etabliert hat oder Daniel Mudrack, nicht nur ein großartiger Schlagzeuger, sondern auch für innovative Klangkonzepte verantwortlich, wie man es auf diesem Debütalbum hören kann. Auf der Basis von Bassist und Jazz-Preisträger Sebastian Schuster macht die Band in der Tat Fortschritte und hinterlässt Stereotypen, ohne einen Hinweis auf Stile und Definitionen zu geben. Ob man es Jazz oder Hiphop nennen will, liegt an den Kritikern - Tatsache ist, dass vier faszinierende Musiker zusammenkommen und den musikalischen Moment feiern.
Das bedeutet nicht, dass es keine Vorbilder gibt. Schließlich wurde Martin Sörös - in diesem Projekt vor allem auf dem Fender Rhodes - für seine kongeniale Verbeugung vor Großmeister Chick Corea ausgezeichnet.

... But this music is damn gripping and radiates international flair, with an atmosphere that sounds as cool and funky as Herbie Hancock once did on his Blue Note Days, and full of ambitious passion with an independent character, yet very entertaining, and at a high level...

... follows the almost nine-minute final 'Introduction / Outro Dr. Syros' with a stirring rhythm and lots of solos. After this you can only conclude that it is joint practice to which this great album invites: to chill out with a good glass or to dance a lot.

... Especially the crunchy Opener "Hi" does not count among the worst Songs of the loose debut album. From these four guys you will still hear.

... Yes, everything seems to flow, steadily and without breaks. In any case, this is the listening impression underlined by the soft lines of sound ... Relaxation is the order of the day when listening to the album. Thank you Dr. Syros for the musical healing treatment.
