Description
'A Place to Be' is the first collaboration between British saxophonist Justin Swadling and the multi award winning string ensemble, Piatti Quartet. The outstanding sonic qualities of this record allow the listener to be fully submerged into a cinematic type experience full of mystery and intrigue.
This original work sees the Piatti Quartet employ a host of extended instrumental techniques designed to mimic the percussive sounds of legendary drum grooves and soul-influenced bass lines. The extraordinary blend of alto saxophone and string quartet creates a unique sound world that bridges the gap between classical music and more contemporary genres.
Vinyl is unquestionably the perfect medium to deliver this album with its strong focus on high-fidelity audio.

Conceived and performed by world-class musicians guided by a unique vision, 'A Place to Be' is a wholly original creation, both highly accessible and rich in musical integrity.
