ReDiviDeR is a two-horns-no-chords quartet established by drummer Matthew Jacobson in 2007 as a creative outlet for his compositions as well as his somewhat perverse fascination with anagrams.
Mere Nation - their third Diatribe release, following meets I Dig Monk, Tuned (2013) and Never odd or eveN (2011) - aims to give maximum freedom to each of the musicians’ improvisatory instincts, while still retaining Jacobson’s penchant for off-kilter grooves and interlocking melodies.
Earlier releases were described as “an inspired endeavour” by No More Workhorse, “a big leap forward” by Marlbank and “a striking musical collage…recommended for those generally disposed to imaginative, genre-bending music” in All About Jazz.
