NOLLER/SYLLA by Jeremy Noller & Mangue Sylla
NOLLER/SYLLA is a New York City based band that brings together traditional West African rhythms and contemporary jazz to create an exciting and accessible mix of pulsing grooves and soaring melodies. Co-led by American jazz drummer Jeremy Noller and Guinean percussionist Mangue Sylla, the group performs high energy arrangements of traditional West African songs as well as original compositions inspired by West Africa’s vast musical heritage. Having met in 2006, the two have worked together in a variety of musical settings, and collaborated on Noller’s 2010 album Music Notes. Their latest recording, NOLLER/SYLLA - a self-titled digital EP, was released in March 2019 by Outside in Music. The album presents a uniquely accessible outing that celebrates the beauty and complexity of five traditional West African songs.
