+-------------------------------[Release Notes]------------------------------+
| |
| To catch the attention of our discerning, critical and cynical ears, |
| any demos that people send to us here at Jazzman have to be pretty |
| damn good. Yes they all get listened to, but very few make it this far |
| as an official Jazzman CD and vinyl release. In fact the last time we |
| released some recently-recorded music was a couple of years ago with |
| the Natural Yogurt Band, which we were happy to see become an instant |
| success. |
| |
| You see, we're quite fussy because in this day and age we can't afford |
| to lose money by putting out a so-so record. We also have to like it a |
| LOT, not just because we'll have to listen to it over and over again, |
| but because we want you to too! So here is our next attempt at world |
| domination, the debut album by The Greg Foat Group. |
| |
| DARK IS THE SUN |
| |
| Recorded in Sweden, Dark is the Sun is a concept album based on themes |
| and variations by British pianist/composer/arranger Greg Foat, who has |
| created an intriguing blend of non-contemporary jazz sounds with |
| classic scoring techniques. An exotic array of unorthodox |
| instrumentation was utilized, including harpsichord, tubular bells and |
| a 15 piece choir. With musical reference and influence from such |
| luminaries as Bruno Nicolai, Michel Legrand and Serge Gainsbourg as |
| well as a firm nod towards UK jazzmen Michael Garrick, Keith Mansfield |
| and Alan Hawkshaw, the result is highly-listenable, enduring and |
| fulfilling for those who like real music played with real instruments. |
