Oh! Jazz: Nathan Haines “Soft Chaos”

Nathan Haines “Soft Chaos”

Soft Chaos is the brand new experimental electronic-jazz trio lead by producer/saxophonist Nathan Haines.

Featuring the talents of the new generation of jazz alumni - Elijah Whyte (drums) and Joe Kaptein (keys) - Soft Chaos draws on the influences of both electronic dance music, with improvised free-form acoustic jazz leanings.

Nathan Haines has had a hand in creating the blueprint of international jazz-influenced music over the last 20+ years, beginning with his 1994 acid-jazz album Shift Left, which remains New Zealand’s biggest-selling jazz album, and continuing through his years in the dance music scene in London. With his many albums spanning electronic and more straight-ahead acoustic jazz, he’s again embracing the new with this latest dynamic multi-generational line-up.

Heard here in their second-ever outing, this band sounds both fresh and polished. Turn it up, and be ready to groove!
