Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking a pivotal transition for the esteemed jazz-rock outfit, 'Waterfall' incorporates an introspective, often abstract approach to progressive fusion. The musicians utilize expansive saxophone and flute lines against dynamic rhythmic backdrops, leaning into darker, more ominous thematic material. The album stands as a complex, remarkably fluid testament to British brass-rock pushing beyond its initial commercial boundaries.
