Grossmann, Muriel
Universal Code (2lp)
Muriel Grossmann has been living in Ibiza, Spain for about 20 years composing her distinguished brand of soulful spiritual jazz. 'Universal Code' is a 80-minute musical journey of modal jazz with influence of African music and soul jazz. It was composed as a natural successor of 2019 record 'Reverence.' This album was achieved as a part of Muriel Grossmann's spiritual and musical explorations. This music on 'Universal Code' is long on contemplative, instrumental dexterity, as well as harmonic and rhythmic invention. Its spiritual aspirations are articulated via interrogative melodies, poignant solos, and interwoven grooves that resonate inside the listener's ears, mind, and body... The music follows a winding aural road from intention to impression to perception, and from awareness to transformation and ultimately, transcendence.
