Szun Waves
New Hymn to Freedom
By streamdream
Contemporary wizard Luke Abbot got together with his band Szun Waves to produce this six-track long-player. It’s a stunning collection of improvisations, live jams that the band recorded in one take. You can feel the energy in each one as the band members communicate with one another through the medium of music, each contributing to a larger entity in the composition itself. There’s a sense of immediacy, of anxiety and calm juxtaposed with one another. Jam sessions work best when everyone is willing to let go and allow whatever happens to whisk them away into a world of infinite possibilities. What you can hear on this album is exactly that, beautiful.
