As a bandleader, Amba navigates the edges of an improvisationaldelta, 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 Brötzmann, 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, it's Brötzmann's fearless spirit - itself an immense historical catalyst for European free jazz - that runs like a current through the ensemble's musical collaboration and it's experimental recording techniques.For Amba however, it was important that the ensemble - consisting of Caroline Morton (bass), Lex Korton (piano), Miguel Marcel Russel (percussion) - establish deeper musical connection before the recording process took place: \"We spent days just playing together, and I was trying to mentally take notes of what naturally wanted to exist in this band - before giving instructions or handing out sheet music. I wanted to see where we were all standing in life, right at that moment. From there, I started carving out the process with them. That's how the structure of the band and the approach to the record came about.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Fruit Gathering \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Interbeing \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Ma \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Forevermore \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Seaside \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Champa Flower \u003cbr\u003e1.7 In Heart \u003cbr\u003e1.8 At Noon \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Like the Sun\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Zoh Amba","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41758962647111,"sku":"45302237","price":24.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4437606-3408458.jpg?v=1749984049","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/amba-zoh-sun-vinyl-lp","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
