Description
Fiery and dynamic improvised free jazz, recorded live in concert, from a quartet made up of saxophonist John O'Gallagher, violinist Faith Brackenbury, bassist John Pope and drummer Tony Bianco.
Tony Bianco writes - "In this world overwhelmed by confusion, it was great to have purpose for 7 days. That's how many dates Sentient Beings had on their tour in February 2024. This recording is the last night of the tour. As soon as we met, there seemed to be a joy. Joy and camaraderie. As soon as we hit, it was happening. The purpose was the Truth of playing, bringing us out of the confusion of this world. Truth is. It's in front of us all the time. That's where the music comes from. We all go through the ups and downs of life. Hills and Valleys, but Truth is not the enemy."
