Onilu is a striking 2025 debut from the all-percussionist trio of Joe Chambers, Kevin Diehl, and Chad Taylor, released on the acclaimed Eremite Records label. Rather than leaning into the thunderous density you might expect from three accomplished percussionists, the group crafts an expansive and surprisingly spacious soundworld built on breezy patterns and easygoing grooves. The result is a beautifully composed and arranged small ensemble record that defies every expectation of what a modern percussion trio can sound like.
Recorded in Philadelphia and mastered by Joe Lizzi in Queens, NY, Onilu draws on a rich family of drummed and tuned percussion instruments to deliver something that feels wholly musical and complete — nothing missing, nothing superfluous. This is a release for listeners who appreciate adventurous jazz that rewards careful attention, pressed on premium audiophile-quality 140 gram vinyl from Kevin Gray/Cohearent Audio lacquers at Fidelity Record Pressing.
