ZOH AMBA – Sun – LP – Vinyl [AUG 22]

LP – Standard Edition Black Vinyl.

On Sun, Amba introduces a newly assembled group with a set of compositions that blur the line between performance and process where both the music and the act of capturing it unfold in real time, guided in part by improvisational recording techniques. As a bandleader, Amba navigates the edges of an improvisational delta, where spiritual jazz and free folk emerge not as separate genres, but as tributaries of the same current, each flowing from a shared belief in music as a sacred force.

The decision to release Sun on Smalltown Supersound was born from a common connection to the late German saxophonist Peter Brtzmann, who was both a spiritual mentor to Amba and released several records on the label. And while the album is rooted in American folk traditions, its Brtzmanns fearless spirit itself an immense historical catalyst for European free jazz that runs like a current through the ensembles musical collaboration and its experimental recording techniques.
