"In the current deluge of new recordings it’s rare to come across an album that is not only impactful but also as adventurous and eclectic as the new album from Argentine drummer Axel Filip. Titled Habitat, Filip’s latest album is a collaboration with the Berlin-based multinational ensemble Maleza, and can be seen as a testament to his musical prowess and ability to draw inspiration from diverse life experiences".

Axel Filip - drums/composition and arrangements
Featured Artists
Melina Moguilevsky - voice
Pablo Passini: guitar
Milton Amadeo: voice
Juan Klas: strring quartet conductor
"Sendero is an immensely appealing combination of thoughtful compositions and lyrical flow. It’s fascinating to track the progress of Axel Filip’s meticulous song structures from the first note to the last. But what carries the album is the way melodies, congenial grooves, and sweeping harmonic interludes combine to light a clear path. Each piece flirts with catchy tunes, but always in service to a more complex, thrilling vision of what Argentinian jazz can be. The drummer is joined here by pianist Mariano Sarra and double bassist Flavio Romero, along with guest vocalists, guitarists, and a string quartet. Highly recommended for fans of Guillermo Klein."

I’m truly impressed, and I’m not that easy to please, especially when it comes to music that is right on the “edge” of creative genius; you will be, too, especially if you love a bit of “adventure” in your listening experience… be sure to SUBSCRIBE to Axel’s YouTube channel, so you can watch many other performances, too… I did.
I give Axel and his musical partners a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED rating, with a perfect “EQ” (energy quotient) score of 5.00… which also means that this album gets my “PICK” for “best 21st Century jazz”. You’ll find more information on Axel’s website. DICK METCALF for "Contemporary Fusion Reviews" (Full review here)
