A Place Where

Description

Led by pianist Nina Gat and drummer Ananda Brandão, Ninanda blends modern jazz and spellbinding folk on their debut album in magical compositions, showcasing powerful rhythms and dreamy vocals over rich and complex harmonies. More than just a complementary pair, one can speak of a major quartet, so much so that guitarist Maxime Boyer and double bassist Mathieu Scala fully belong in their universe, bringing their own share of inspiration. Without raising their voices, they assert a thoroughly original version of jazz, through the prism of elegant folk. A mastery of nuance and a sense of collective interplay have thus made this debut record possible, following their first prize at the Jazz à Vienne springboard in summer 2024. It comprises ten compositions, written almost equally by one and the other, between nostalgic hues and cinematic atmospheres.
