Album US 2018 on Youngbloods label
Jazz (Avant-garde Jazz, Contemporary Jazz)
Sheila Brown Ellis and husband Richard Ellis reveal the roots of their signature brand of Noir Jazz as they spend this October briefly peering into their past at collaborations with Tokyo’s Novo Tempo, London saxophonist Jake Telford, and composers Christoph Isermann and Alex Janz. Exercising their skills as band leaders, Richard and Sheila deliver a specular after-hour sermon on the power of mutual bonds and the fruits of collaborative creativity, trading roaming acoustic guitar leads for authoritative striding bass lines and dark strings for the orchard whistles of song birds and flutes. Draped in the grain of streetlight fog, all three compositions give a mirthless nod towards the enchanting depths of Jazz. All songs written by Sheila Brown-Ellis and produced by Richard Ellis "Circles" features additional writing by Akimasa Yamada, with Saxophone contributions performed by Jake Telford "Glow" features additional writing by Christoph Isermann "Lovers’ Wings" features additional writing by Alex Janz Mastered by Steve Kitch at Audiomaster in London Cover Photo captured by Richard Ellis Layout and design by Nicholas Concklin Executive Produced by John Moses and Nicholas Concklin All music published by Ninja Tune Publishing (PRS)
