Regular price £24.00 Save £-24.00Product Description
-
Channelling
spiritual/modal
jazz
and
Latin
rhythms,
they
simultaneously
reference
the
greats
such
as
Sun
Ra,
Pharoah
Sanders
and
Alice
Coltrane,
while
maintaining
a
fresh
perspective
on
ensemble
dynamics.
Perhaps
the
group's
name
is
no
coincidence
-
each
instrument
seems
to
be
in
orbit
around
the
concept
of
symbiotic
synergy
-
and
everyone
is
given
equal
space
to
shine;
from
a
psychedelic
Korg,
to
a
delirious
saxophone
or
the
gentle
ripples
of
a
harp.
There's
a
huge
array
of
keyboards,
skilfully
manned
by
the
likes
of
Guy
Harrison
and
Cory
Champion
(Clear
Path
Ensemble),
with
a
standout
acoustic
piano
solo
by
Harrison
on
"Plume".
Not
to
be
outshone,
the
wind
section
delivers
ecstatic
saxophone
riffs
,
futtering
flutes
and
solid
horn
choruses
throughout.
Meanwhile,
providing
vital
foundational
support
are
the
percussion
(Soundway
alumnus
Julien
Dyne),
vibraphone,
acoustic
bass
and
full
choir
arranged
by
Matt
Hunter.
It's
a
testament
to
their
harmonious
relationship
and
skill
that
this
debut
album
instantly
sounds
like
a
classic
from
a
group
that
might
have
been
together
a
decade.
