  • Description

    Veteran saxophonist Paul Dunmall presents his sixth Discus Music release. Dunmall, known for his membership of Keith Tippett's Mujician group alongside many of his own ever changing ensembles, remains a leading active and senior figure on the UK free jazz scene.

    Reviewing Dunmall's previous release, Daniel Spicer wrote for Jazzwise: "As ever, Dunmall's big-hearted spiritual sincerity is in evidence...with enough poise and beauty to provoke a sigh of sad wonder for the infuriating and wondrous complexities of life."

    Departing from a run of releases featuring mainly large group composition, this stripped down, free-blowing session features a group of great players on top form, delivering music which is in turns heavily incisive and delicately traced. Dunmall himself has never sounded better than he does here.

    Paul Dunmall: tenor and C soprano saxophones, Bb clarinet
    Corey Mwamba: vibraphone
    Steven Saunders: electric guitar
    Dave Kane: double bass
    Miles Levin: drums
    special guest
    Xhosa Cole: concert flute and piccolo (track 5 only)

    Produced by Martin Archer & Corey Mwamba, the Sunshine! Brothers
