antonjakaro I can't express all the things I feel about this release. It's more than just music, it's about energy and how it makes me feel so good. But not just good because I like it, good in a deeper way. There is some kind of bands like this, their music are more that just art, there is some magic with it. Keep all the good vibrations. Favorite track: Love Song.

StrangeFlow This is definitely a release you would expect from Gondwana Records. As if some Alice Coltrane enthusiasts had also a faible for cinematic classical music and a choir to bring the music to life. Vibrant, playful and soothing! Favorite track: Niyama.

about

Ancient Infinity Orchestra is a 14-member jazz ensemble led by double-bassist and composer Ozzy Moysey, based in the bustling creative city of Leeds in the North of England – home to one of the most innovative and community-based jazz scenes in the UK. Saxophonist Mathew Cliffe, who also performs with Matthew Halsall, is a key member of the rotating line-up which includes drums, two bassists, keyboards, harp, violin, cello, two tenors, alto, oboe, flute and percussion.

Their Gondwana Records debut ‘River of Light’ is out on 17th November and drinks deep from the well of spiritual jazz. This music is especially inspired by the soulful sounds of Pharoah Sanders, Alice and John Coltrane – all of whom are mentioned in the brilliant track ‘Pharoah Sings’ – but also channels a certain Northern sensibility that can be heard in the music of Matthew Halsall or Alabaster de Plume. Melodic, warm and honest this is music that is happy to wear its heart on its sleeve.

This is also communal music made by friends, which offers a deep celebration of togetherness and of music-making. It’s confidently deep music, moving and meditative, and Ozzy draws on philosophy and nature as well as musical inspirations to foster a focus on giving and sharing beautiful things with one another and with the listener.

Bandleader Ozzy explains,

“It was a joyous three days of recording together with the Leeds based band of 14, combined with a similar sized choir of friends from Brighton joining us. Seeing them meet for the first time and witnessing their incredible dedication and passion for music together, there was such a wholesome atmosphere that was so fun to be a part of. Members of the choir cooked for over 30 people each day, descending, each morning, on mass, to the studio and melting together in the heat of the height of summer. Between tracks, the band jammed in the corridors, sat in the sun and laughed a lot. The atmosphere of all these people meeting in the heat of summer, eating, laughing and creating something together - really shines through on these recordings.”
