"Nzuku” emphasizes the feeling that something distinct has begun. Its strong atmosphere has the scent of narrative. Rotating on a hypnotic marimba pattern and an octave-driven bass reminiscent of Charlie Haden, it’s a loose-limbed meeting of sounds and approaches. It’s the sound of an ensemble working together in harmony, opening doors for one another. It makes you want to open a window and let in the fresh air. A sunbaked workout that suggests a 6/4 cycle, it’s a wild blend of dusted atmospherics, a low-slung hammock in a cosmic jazz disco style.
