Gorgeous new record from London-based jazz composer NALA SINEPHRO, building up off the hype of 2021's "Space 1.8" (unsurprisingly a favorite of ours here) with a ten-part suite of ambient third-stream. Taking a sense of mantra/motif repetition of early 70s ALICE COLTRANE with the subtley lush dynamics of CLAUS OGERMAN's string arrangement work - or for a recent comparison the dynamics of FLOATING POINTS / PHAROAH SANDERS' "Promises" - SINEPHRO comes through with a meditative & impressionistic collection, again with help from Nubya Garcia and James Mollison as well as BLACK MIDI's Morgan Simpson. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
