Girl and Robot with Flowers

Quantity:   

Jazzman Records presents the second album of mesmerizing non-contemporary jazz by the Greg Foat Group with their album Girl and Robot with Flowers. Evading the dreaded "second album syndrome" with consummate ease, Girl and Robot with Flowers is a sonic soundscape of epic proportions that leaves Dark Is the Sun in the dust while propelling the listener into infinity. With a doff of the hat to sci-fi writer Brian Aldiss, we're whisked off on a thematic journey into the emotive and enthralling realms of cinematic jazz, seductive ambience, and exciting, majestic drama. Often unpredictable and certainly never dull, British pianist/composer/arranger Greg Foat uses everything from brass bands and kettle drums to Moog synthesizer and harmonium to take us above and beyond the stratosphere of our senses. As with Dark Is the Sun, this album was recorded in a unique, pure analogue studio in Sweden to capture the full warmth and dynamic range of the wide variety of instruments utilized. The spacious, high quality sound that was achieved by recording direct to tape through high quality vintage equipment is absolutely impeccable, revealing in stunning detail a magical atmosphere the likes of which is rarely heard in the current climate of digitalization and MP3s.
