VOLUME 1
Joburg-New York and back again…
Tracing the circuits between South African and U.S. jazz, extimacy vol. 1 proceeded along the knife’s edge of exile and improvisation; of displacement ...and the impossibility of return.
As countries across the so-called Third World moved to decolonize (formally at least), anti-black repression in the United States and South Africa ramped up in intensity.
Jim Crow and Apartheid:
not twins...
...but echoes whose vibrations were meant to silence the sound and the future...
The distance between Jo’burg and New York
...like Johnny Dyani’s mythic bassline...
is drawn in blood and breath
extimacy vol. 1 was a collaboration between chloé faux and drummer patrick gabriel-boyle.
each experiment took place at Lucille’s Harlem
