Album Notes & Community Reviews

The ambitious sophomore double album from the British saxophone and drum duo is split into two distinct thematic halves. The first disc captures raw, stripped-down improvisations between the two musicians, while the second expands the tracking to include veteran free jazz legends like Evan Parker. The record weaves a fantastical narrative concept while serving as a monumental document of the explosive contemporary London jazz revival.
