Mamal Hands - Shadow Work [GONDCD021] 2017 FLAC

(Gondwana Records Manchester) --> Moderne jazz klanken. Ik ben door het luisteren naar Gogo Penguin die ook op dit label platen uitbrengt eens gaan kijken wat er nog meer voor muziek te vinden is. Mamal Hands viel hier bij positief op, vandaar dit album. 

“Shadow Work” is the third album release from the trio Mammal Hands  featuring brothers Jordan Smart (saxophones) and Nick Smart (piano) plus drummer/percussionist Jesse Barrett. Originally from Norwich the Smarts were already working as an electronica duo before they encountered Barrett in 2012 with the music subsequently diverting in a more obvious jazz direction.


After adopting the group name Mammal Hands the trio were spotted by GoGo Penguin bassist Nick Blacka when both bands were playing at the Mostly Jazz Funk and Soul Festival in Birmingham. Recognising them as kindred spirits Blacka recommended them to Manchester based trumpeter, composer and label owner Matthew Halsall who signed the trio to his Gondwana imprint and produced their acclaimed début album “Animalia” in 2014.
