Martin Rude & Jakob Skøtt Duo :: The Discipline of Assent

An appropriate title for a record spinning today (November 5th as the US counts ballots), The Discipline of Assent is the work of Danish jazz duo Jakob Skøtt and Martin Rude. Modal, exploratory, rooted in the masters, the pair at once reconnoiter the past and sow the future. Fusing acoustic instrumentation with subtle electronics, Assent incorporates ragas, heavy groove and deft percussion — a tight/loose panoramic session fit for the liminal space of DI Chamaeleontis.
