This record was recorded in 2024, this EP is a jazz rock fusion album, with the incredible performance of Gary Husband in drums, synthesizer and piano and Hadrien Feraud in bass along with the extraordinary guitar work by Morgan.
There are special guests on this project – Eric Marienthal who plays the saxophone on some of the tracks and Joey De Leon on percussion. It is rare to find a product that takes its listeners on an upscale trip through soundscapes that have been composed and produced to the finest detail to bring out the style of 1970s jazz fusion.
This is an album that not only musically is inventive but is at the same time dedicated and expresses affection towards Dean Brown, who was co-writer and arranger of the project.
