The 2nd single from my new album "Effra" is out now. It's called "Subsonic Glow" and I wrote it for that moment in a set when things have been getting a bit too serious and intense and what everyone needs is good bit of old-fashioned swing to lift their mood.
Honouring a jazz tradition that's been in play since the 1940s I've written a contrafact - a new melody on the harmony of an existing jazz standard - on the changes of Benny Carter's beautiful song "When Lights Are Low". It's a great chance to feature the jazz talents of the whole sextet.
Make sure to get a ticket for the "Effra" Album Launch at Kings Place Hall One on Saturday 22nd February 2025!
The full album will be released on Friday 31st January 2025 on Ubuntu Music.
Performed by James Davison, Liam Dunachie, Scott Chapman, Matthew Herd, Sam Rapley and myself. Recorded and mixed by Alex Killpartrick. Mastered by Caspar Sutton-Jones at Gearbox Records
