Monday 26 October 8pm Sharp Little Bones featuring Tony Kofi Dominic Ingham + Jay Verma (duo) Guesde [EMERGENCE] Opening track 'Trent Fields' combines an earthy groove with memorable hooks, while the title track reflects Herbie Hancock's celebrated balance of groove, melody and harmony. 'Sola Mento' explores South American and African-inspired rhythms, 'Dream Capture' blends a Latin-influenced electric bass riff with a spiritual atmosphere and 'Snake Oil' juxtaposes hard swing with deep funk. 'Brie en Croute' reflects Wayne Shorter's approach to composition, 'Hook Up' is driven by complex compound metres, and 'Portman Pie' develops Miles Davis-inspired melodic ideas before moving into a spontaneous outro reminiscent of John Martyn and Danny Thompson. The album concludes with ‘Lucidity’, an uplifting finale inspired by the energy of Ezra Collective. "For me, composing, arranging, performing, recording, producing and mastering are all part of the same creative process,” says Paterson. “Being able to follow an idea from its very first spark through to the finished record is incredibly rewarding, and I'm especially proud of what we've created with Step Up! Get Down!"
