More Info

Recorded live at London’s Church of Sound, it appears here in its full unedited glory since not a second of this incredible work could be left on the cutting room floor. A unique homage to the Spiritual Jazz music of the 1960s and 70s and to artists such as Alice Coltrane and Pharaoh Sanders.

It’s a culturally diverse album rich in musical colour. Korwar’s pioneering approach and ethnomusicological background allows him to develop and innovate upon the Indo-jazz genre. Features highly estimable musicians from both the jazz genre and the Indian classical/traditional genres; includes virtuosic Italian guitarist Guiliano Modarelli, multi-instrumentalist and saxophonist Tamar Osborn, as well as award-winning Indian vocalist Aditya Prakash. Fans of Korwar include Floating Points, Gilles Peterson, and Keiran Hebden. Of his previous album Four Tet said: “Refreshingly different, this is a deep and powerful listening experience.”

Following the release of his 2016 debut album ‘Day to Day’ (Ninja Tune) he won great acclaim supporting Kamasi Washington on tour. More recently he’s collaborated with London illuminaries Binker & Moses and Shabaka Hutchings.

“Korwar constantly reminds us that the skill, artistry and complexity of Indian music reaches deep down as it does wide.” - Straight No Chaser

“Brave, heady and genuinely fresh.” - Electronic Sound
