Description
Taking the electric music of Miles Davis as its starting point, Anthropology Band is about finding the atmosphere through a deep rhythm, a searing blues run, a delicate melody, or a cascading solo statement.
Band leader Martin Archer has kept the music as simple as possible - often driven by the bassline - and the structures loose, to enable this who's who of UK creative musicians to let the music breathe in a different way each time it is played. There are multiple chordal instruments in the centre of the sound, allowing each soloist to sit on a kaleidoscopic wave of intercrossing figures which push the music forward.
Personnel: Martin Archer (saxophones, electronics, composer), Charlotte Keeffe (trumpet, flugelhorn, arranger), Chris Sharkey (guitar, electronics), Pat Thomas (keyboards, electronics), Corey Mwamba (vibraphone), Dave Sturt (bass guitar), Peter Fairclough (drums).
