Every week for the past 4 or so weeks, I've been at least one track that beautifully encapsulates Nu Jazz with a modern twist - and Dave Mackay's "Utopia" is yet another stellar example.
Dave Mackay is joined by quite a star studded lineup on here with Aaron Steele on drums (Portugal.The Man) and Antoine Katz on bass (Cory Henry). Initially it was the fascinating drums that grabbed my attention, however by the time the track reaches the halfway mark it transforms in an epic as a range of instruments crescendo to immerse you into the experience.
This is the title track from my new EP "Three: Vol. 3 [Utopia]" - the final in a series of three improvised jazz records made with my trio in different cities around the world.
