about

One of my first jobs was in the jazz department of a record store, so swing became ingrained in me. As well as the old swing band greats I was always playing the contemporary stuff of the time; I sold so many copies of Polar Bear and Acoustic Ladyland’s debut albums because I was obsessed with playing them. The melodic material of this track is all octatonic, a scale favoured by Stravinsky. He is one of my favourite composers; experiencing the ballet of The Rite of Spring is always a thrilling, spine-tingling joy. The slightly distorted trombone, played by Sarah Mann, jumps right back to the sound of Willie Colón’s Latin Jazz recordings from the late 60’s.
