Nick Walters: Awakening (Vinyl LP) [ vinyl ]

Trumpeter and long-time label affiliate Nick Walters brings his Paradox Ensemble back to life with the mini-album 'Awakening'. The thirteen piece ensemble combine spiritual and eastern jazz moods with West African rhythms across four extended tracks. - Channelling the spirit of Woody Shaw, Charles Mingus and absent friends the band features some familiar faces such as Ed Cawthorne (aka Tenderlonious) on tenor sax and flute, Aidan Shepherd (Ruby Rushton) on accordion and synth, and of course the incomparable Nick Walters (Ruby Rushton & Riot Jazz) on trumpet and synths. 34268 07:58, Dear Old Thing 06:28, Brahman 10:04, Zeno 08:06
