A new signing to Acid Jazz is Mama Terra which is the brainchild of Glaswegian pianist and composer Marco
Cafolla. As alluded to when we posted their last single and live videos for it and two other tracks earlier this week, their debut album "The Summoned", written and demoed during lockdown, is released today.
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.
Along with Glasgow musicians Konrad Wiszniewski (sax / flute),
Mikey Owers (trombone), Cameron Jay (flugelhorn), and vocalist
Rachel Lightbody, Cafollo & co. 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. It's predominantly contemporary, free jazz instrumental and is available digitally, on CD and vinyl.
