Mama Terra - Inner Space [CD]

Scotland’s premier jazz ensemble, Mama Terra, returns with their highly anticipated new album, 'Inner Space'. Following the success of 'Chameleons (Live Interpretations Of Herbie Hancock)' and their acclaimed 2023 debut 'The Summoned', this latest offering delves into the human condition, exploring 'what we are and what we can be!'.

Key Features:

• Features the iconic narration of Conrad Roberts, known for his 1971 collaboration with Miles Davis.
• Explores diverse musical influences ranging from Wayne Shorter and Miles Davis to Kamasi Washington and Holst.
• Includes contributions from Grammy-nominated co-producer and engineer Joel Hamilton.
• Showcases the distinctive soprano voice of Rachel Lightbody, a defining feature of Mama Terra's spiritual jazz sound.
• Guest appearances by classical stars 'The Ayoub Sisters' and New York trumpeter Jeremy Pelt.

Album Significance:

'Inner Space' builds upon the musical themes and ambition of Mama Terra's previous work, introducing new instrumentation and expanding their sonic palette. The album was recorded across Glasgow, Los Angeles, and Brooklyn, under the direction of leader, composer, and producer CAFOLLA. Conrad Roberts contributes narration to two tracks, 'Inner Space (Narration by Conrad Roberts)' and 'Bliss (Words & Narration By Conrad Roberts)', inspired by a sense of continuity with his past work.

This release is a must-have for fans of spiritual jazz and eclectic musical exploration.
