About This Album
The Philippines boasts a nuanced, enduring jazz tradition that has evolved alongside the archipelago’s many other rich musical forms, growing from a genre adopted from global cultural exchange into a distinctly Filipino practice that pushes creative boundaries while honoring the core improvisational and exploratory spirit that defines jazz as a whole. The album Fragmented exists within this lineage, contributing to a continuous legacy of Filipino jazz that moves between intimate experimental works and larger ensemble recordings, each adding a new layer to the country’s ever-expanding jazz canon.
