Pour Alto Seul by Johan Arrias

Existence it seems is a search for an identity. Sometimes it goes through ruins. Sometimes it goes through understanding what you are part of and what is your ancestry.
Johan Arrias' first solo album is a reach to understand what lingers there and how to embrace it.
His tone and his voice is saxophone alone, a solo instrument that brings the improvisational value to the eight compositions that break the memories and traces into chants of sophistication.
There is a miniscule of vibrant sentimentality in it but nothing is short of intricacy and idiosyncratic logos of the work.
A tale of Surinamese grandfather who fled the horrors of 2nd WW to unite with his grandmother told by an experienced musician.
