Javier Vercher
http://javierverchermusic
Native of Valencia, Spain, Javier Vercher spent 10 years in NYC cutting his own records and discovering new ways of playing. In 2010 he returned to Valencia. Settling back into the rhythms of his homeland, Vercher says, “I feel focused on the music, taking care of the music, studying sound, having a regular life. I need to learn in a different way – not only about jazz, but more about other aspects of life and how to insert these concepts into my playing and writing.”

Tenor saxophonist Javier Vercher's and drummer Ferenc Nemeth´s music career – and life – can be summed up by the popular aphorism - “Wherever you go, there you are.”

When Vercher released his last solo disc, "Wish You Were Here", he was calling Brooklyn NY home, though, as the album title suggests, his compositions often began their life as postcards from the road.

Imaginary Realm, his second collaboration with drummer Ferenc Nemeth, is as aptly titled. This time the journey is internal one. Although the mood is predominantly contemplative, the Groove does heat up on “Giant Henge,” Vercher and Nemeth took as their starting point the tantalizing mystery of Stonehenge, envisioning some otherworldly force leaving it´s mark on the earth. Beauty emerges from near chaos. The title track is like an after-hours blues, a spontaneous call-and-response. It epitomizes the free playing that has always been at the heart of Vercher´s live and recorded work.

Nemeth, a native Hungarian, and sought-after player in multiple genres, had emigrated from Europe almost a decade ago and, like Vercher, he attended Berklee and the settled in Brooklyn. They traveled in the same jazz circles and were likeminded players, kindred spirits, schooled in tradition but eager to experiment.
