James Allsopp Group
nu-jazz contemporary jazz spiritual jazz
Influences: Pharoah Sanders, Don Cherry, Alice Coltrane
James Allsopp plays tenor saxophone and synthesizer in a five-piece group with trumpet, percussion, drum kit and bass, producing deeply melodic, psychedelic and dub-inflected music with a spiritual edge. The band is previewing material from their forthcoming album "The Forest Speaks," produced with Ben Lamdin of Nostalgia 77 for a dub aesthetic that shapes the live sound. Allsopp brings a Vortex-tested sense of atmosphere and unhurried melodic development to a set the band describes as joyous and life-affirming.
