Sun: Vinyl LP

Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change.
Label: Smalltown Supersound
Release Date: 22nd August

One for those who like their jazz to imitate to the chaos, the calm, the spiritual and the grounded realness of life. Experimental, wild and free jazz with moments of spiritual bliss. One of the best in it's field this year. 

On Sun, Amba introduces a newly assembled group with a set of compositions that blur the line between performance and process – where both the music and the act of capturing it unfold in real time, guided in part by improvisational recording techniques. As a bandleader, Amba navigates the edges of an improvisational delta, where spiritual jazz and free folk emerge not as separate genres, but as tributaries of the same current, each flowing from a shared belief in music as a sacred force.  

The decision to release Sun on Smalltown Supersound was born from a common connection to the late German saxophonist Peter Brötzmann, who was both a spiritual mentor to Amba and released several records on the label. And while the album is rooted in American folk traditions, it’s Brötzmann’s fearless spirit – itself an immense historical catalyst for European free jazz – that runs like a current through the ensemble’s musical collaboration and its experimental recording techniques
