Leeds spiritual jazz ensemble Ancient Infinity Orchestra, led by Ozzy Moysey, plays tracks from its albums 'It's Always About Liberation' and 'Rivers of Light' at the Hull Jazz Festival.
Ancient Infinity Orchestra play The Goodfellowship Inn on Thursday 12 November, as part of the Hull Jazz Festival. It's a 14-piece spiritual jazz ensemble from Leeds, led by double-bassist and composer Ozzy Moysey. The set draws on their new album, It's Always About Liberation, and their Gondwana Records debut, Rivers of Light.
Rivers of Light channels the soulful sounds of Pharoah Sanders and Alice and John Coltrane, filtered through a Northern sensibility. The music is built on haunting refrains, turbulent grooves, the ecstatic sprawl of spiritual jazz, and vivid splashes of global sound. It was recorded over three days with a choir of more than a dozen friends from Brighton. Critics have called it "pure joy" and "uplifting organic spiritual jazz", and BBC Radio 6's Zakia described it as "heavenly".
The orchestra is a rotating line-up, and this show includes saxophonist Mathew Cliffe. They're based in Leeds, at the heart of one of the UK's most innovative and community-based jazz scenes in the North of England. The night is presented by JazzinHull.org.
