Acclaimed jazz pianist Greg Foat returns with full group backing, featuring legendary UK jazz players Ray Russell, Duncan Lamont and Art Themen, joined by a stellar line-up including Warren Hampshire, Moses Boyd, Malcolm Catto (The Heliocentrics) and full choir.
A long time personal ambition for Greg was to work with Trinidadian songstress Kathy Garcia. This wish is granted as she joins him to re-imagine the deep Xian masterpiece Of my Hands, 45 years after recording it as a young girl.
Greg’s compositions and arrangements showcase the old and new, downtempo folkscapes and free jazz with notes of soul. Stunningly beautiful.
