Frank Talbot - Mundane Life Updates (2022/2025) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

One might wonder why Frank Talbot called this album "Mundane Life Updates", especially since the music is far from banal! This is the term he and his partner use when sharing the small everyday details of their day. Many of Frank's compositions are based on such events, as he considers music to be a perfect medium for expressing the unique experiences of everyday life.

"Frank has hit the nail on the head with his recording Mundane Life Updates. The jazz spirit is alive and vibrant on this recording. To understand what Frank and his ensemble are expressing with this music, buy the recording and, of course, support the live performances when the material can be heard on tour in early 2023. Support New Zealand music." - Rodger Fox

"In advance, the note should be allowed that the album is served with the finest post-bop spice. This starts with the opening track "Highland High Life": On the way to a concert tour, we read that Frank Talbot took some free days in Japan to pursue his passion: roller coaster riding in amusement parks. So he did it and visited Fuji-Q Highland, in order to then capture the atmosphere of the park in a kind of "extended reality" with the present piece. So, let's start with the wild roller coaster ride! Speed rush is captured, the wild ride up and down and in loops as well, but without making loops a part of the music.
