Anton Jarl drums · Ivan Kovacevic double bass · Alex López trumpet · Nil Mujal saxophones · Marc Martín piano
Swedish drummer and composer Anton Jarl, based in Barcelona and with more than thirty years of professional experience, presents his new project, Kind of Metal, a bold proposal that brings together two seemingly irreconcilable worlds: jazz and heavy metal.
Kind of Metal is a classic quintet — trumpet, saxophone, piano, double bass and drums — featuring top-level musicians. Its sound draws inspiration from the great hard bop groups led by Cannonball Adderley, Art Blakey and Charles Mingus, while maintaining a strong instrumental rhythm-and-blues groove.
The repertoire features jazz reinterpretations of heavy metal and hard rock classics by Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, KISS and Judas Priest, taking them into uncharted, daring and uncompromising musical territory.
