Review by Michelle DeRusha

Private by Day & Taxi is a captivating album that showcases the band's exceptional musicianship and creative vision. The album is a fusion of jazz, funk, and world music, and it features an impressive array of instruments, including saxophone, trumpet, bass, drums, and percussion.

The album opens with the track "Private," which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its intricate rhythms and melodic saxophone lines. The track "Pitanga" is a standout, featuring a driving bassline and a catchy trumpet melody that will have listeners tapping their feet.

Throughout the album, the band's musicianship is on full display, with each member contributing their unique talents to create a cohesive and dynamic sound. The percussion work on tracks like "Casa de Jengibre" and "Canto de Ossanha" is particularly noteworthy, adding depth and texture to the already rich musical landscape.

About Day & Taxi

DAY & TAXI are Christoph Gallio, Silvan Jeger and Gerry Hemingway. For 30 years Swiss saxophone player Christoph Gallio has been the driving force behind the trio DAY & TAXI. His compositions delicately oscilllate between "new music" and "avant jazz"and are concisely focused and structured in his personal, unique way. Unaffected by musical trends DAY & TAXI excells at the difficult, richly rewarding balancing act between composition and improvisation. Their music utilizes a wide array of styles while also incorporating unexpected, brilliant infusions of poesy, sentimentality, cliche and kitsch. All this and more is allowed. The sublimity and composure in handling these diverse elements is a primary characteristic of the unique DAY & TAXI sound. This group focus is echoed and amplified by the individual voices of the members of the band in an organic and accomplished manner. The working band DAY & TAXI was founded in 1988 as a quartet. The current members since 2013 are Silvan Jeger on bass and since fall 2018 Gerry Hemingway on drums. The cover art of the DAY & TAXI CDs were contributed by artists like Yoshitomo Nara, Ai Weiwei, Peter Z Herzog, Christopher Wool, Alex Katz, Beat Streuli and Gilbert & George, Franziska Furter, Alex Hanimann, Thomas Schütte. DAY & TAXI was on tour in Kanada, USA, Russia, Kasachstan, Japan, China, Argentina, Chile, Europe.
