James Allsopp has, over the last 20 years, performed with and recorded for an incredibly diverse
range of artists including The Last Poets, Dr John, Polar Bear, Jamie Cullum and Nostalgia 77.
This album brings together together elements of his favourite music; from Krautrock
to soul jazz, Pakistani and Colombian devotional music to desert blues. This is joyous, life
affirming music. Deceptively simple, deeply melodic with a healthy dose of the other worldly.
Featured radio play on BBC radio 3, BBC 6 music and Jazz FM, played by Giles Peterson and
