The Greg Foat Group
Dark Is The Sun
Album UK 2011 on Jazzman label
Jazz and R&B/Soul
Recorded at Glava Studios, Gothenburg, Sweden February 10th, 11th, 12th except (A4, B4, B5) recorded at the Fish Factory, Dollis Hill London, April 13th and 14th (P) 2011 Jazzman Records Ltd © 2011 Jazzman Records Ltd. 1000 hand numbered copies. Recorded in Sweden, ‘Dark is the Sun’ is a concept album based on themes and variations by British pianist/composer/arranger Greg Foat, who has created an intriguing blend of non-contemporary jazz sounds with classic scoring techniques. An exotic array of unorthodox instrumentation was utilized, including harpsichord, tubular bells and a 15 piece choir. With musical reference and influence from such luminaries as Bruno Nicolai, Michel Legrand and Serge Gainsbourg as well as a firm nod towards UK jazzmen Michael Garrick, Keith Mansfield and Alan Hawkshaw, the result is highly-listenable, enduring and fulfilling for those who like real music played with real instruments.
