As a bandleader, Amba navigates the edges of an improvisationaldelta, where spiritual jazz and free folk emerge not as separate genres, but as tributaries of the same current, each flowing from a shared belief in music as a sacred force.The decision to release Sun on Smalltown Supersound was born from a common connection to the late German saxophonist Peter Brötzmann, who was both a spiritual mentor to Amba and released several records on the label. And while the album is rooted in American folk traditions, it's Brötzmann's fearless spirit - itself an immense historical catalyst for European free jazz - that runs like a current through the ensemble's musical collaboration and it's experimental recording techniques.For Amba however, it was important that the ensemble - consisting of Caroline Morton (bass), Lex Korton (piano), Miguel Marcel Russel (percussion) - establish deeper musical connection before the recording process took place: \"We spent days just playing together, and I was trying to mentally take notes of what naturally wanted to exist in this band - before giving instructions or handing out sheet music. I wanted to see where we were all standing in life, right at that moment. From there, I started carving out the process with them. That's how the structure of the band and the approach to the record came about.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFruit Gathering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterbeing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForevermore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeaside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChampa Flower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt Noon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLike the Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"598","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50786443165992,"sku":"707282244510","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/4437606-3408458.jpg?v=1763991043","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/amba-zoh-sun-lp-707282244510","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
