Mama Terra [2023] - Last Hour [Acid Jazz]

A new signing to Acid Jazz is Mama Terra the brainchild of Glaswegian pianist and composer Marco Cafolla. The debut album "The Summoned", written and demoed during lockdown, will be released on Friday.

Three tracks have already been premiered  "Ruptura" (17 Mar), "A Mind Supreme" (28 Apr), both free jazz instrumentals, and "Last Hour" (13 Jun) featuring the vocals of Rachel Lightbody. (Live videos of all three below)

Cafolla plays piano and bass keys and used hip hop and modern Jazz drummer samples to create a rhythm section and, wanting to add an authentic N.Y.C. vibe to the album, sent the stems to Orangefish Studio in Brooklyn, NYC where bass (Derek Neivergelt), drums (Evan Pazner) and trumpet solos (Jeremy Pelt) were recorded live to tape.

Cafollo and Glasgow musicians Konrad Wiszniewski (sax / flute), Mikey Owers (trombone),  Cameron Jay (flugelhorn), and vocalist Rachel Lightbody recorded their parts along to the N.Y.C. stems at Glo Worm Studios, Glasgow.

They tell us that "The Summoned" is a conceptual journey through life and the universe which takes cues from Miles Davis, Alice Coltrane and Erykah Badu.

We'll post the latest single, "Last Hour", prior to the album's full release on Friday on recommendation from our Scottish brother Steve Aggasild who has been playing it on his shows for the last couple of weeks and no one else, including us, seems to have picked up on it, yet.
