About This Album
Jazz, a form that has traveled across oceans and continents to be reborn in every community that claims it as a vessel for storytelling, emotional exploration, and creative reimagining, finds one of its most compelling contemporary iterations in the body of work that makes up Aphrodite EP, a jazz album rooted entirely in the creative landscape of the Philippines, where local creators have spent decades weaving the form’s core structural and expressive traditions into the broader tapestry of the nation’s sprawling, multifaceted music ecosystem.
