Soulful, powerfully spiritual jazz on the second album by uroboro, plus poetry from Keith Jafrate, featuring a cast drawn from the finest Discus Music musicians. The music is slow moving, melodic, and firmly grounded in the bass in a way which pulls the listener in and makes time stand still. As with all the band's music, keith's compositions are only the start, and the musicians complete them through improvisation. somehow, they create a sense of the pieces coming into being as they are played, perfectly formed, with nothing tentative or uncertain about them.

And this is a multi-media release: you get the complete poem-series from which the lyrics were extracted, as a pdf with the download package, and in all formats you get Luca Jafrate's images, created especially for this album.

faith brackenbury: vocals & violin
laura cole: piano
anton hunter: guitar & electronics
johnny hunter: drums
keith jafrate: vocals & saxophones
john pope: bass
sylvie rose: vocals & flute

Track Listing

i have learnt the grammar of blue / forget all that

the bass speaks part 1 - i can do no wrong

it is full of birdsong

the bass speaks part 2 - pulse of the sumac at dusk

as in an unpicking of time's garment

the bass speaks part 3 - the return and the setting out

give space to despair

the bass speaks part 4 - i sound the roar of presence

the bass speaks part 5 - to fall into voice
