A collision of European-Jazz inspired beauty and avant-garde free-improvised madness with healthy funk overtones.
Building on the group-improvised approach of their 'Two Tides' album recorded with Richard Nunns, CMB Group continue to explore the spaces between the notes. With influences ranging from John Zorn, The Bad Plus, Scofield, Metheny, Keith Jarrett and more expect wide ranging musical explorations with an emphasis on improvisational freedom.
