Hungarian producer and keyboardist Szabolcs Bognar, known as Abase, explores cosmic unity through his music, now based in Berlin at the forefront of the city's burgeoning jazz scene. His latest album, Awakening, released by Analogue Foundation and Oshu Records, reflects a period of personal milestones and introspection. Recorded swiftly at Berlin's Brewery Studios, it blends influences from Afrobeat, Hungarian folk, Yoruba rhythms, and more, infused with Coltrane-esque improvisation. Tracks like 'Destruction Everywhere' and 'Menidaso' merge spiritual jazz with Afrobeat, featuring vocalist Eric Owusu. 'Awakening' marks a profound musical journey, emphasising unity, dialogue, and self-reflection in a transcendent listening experience.
