Celloman to release 10th album in October 2026

On 23rd October 2026, Jambila Music Classics will release the 10th album by Celloman. Entitled: The Jazz Sessions

With all Cellos recorded by Ivan, the album features 10 original Jazz compositions for cello trio from the cheeky ‘Tango Through’ to the Grappelli-esqe ‘A Touch Tipsy’ and the beautifully melodic ‘Dark Wine’.

Each track features the use of ‘Arpezzato’ cello. A style of playing, without bow that uses finger techniques imported from a wide range of stringed instruments and a variety of styles and genres. Ivan coined the word with his 2019 album ‘Arpezzato Cello’.

Here, the Arpezzato cello acts as the rhythm section providing, in one cello part, the harmony, the bass and the rhythm using techniques such as walking bass, boom chick, arpeggio, slide, hammer-on, pull-offs. On to this bed, bowed melody and counter-melody are added.
