Released via Brownswood Recordings, as the label celebrates it's 20th anniversary, the record brings together Bartz's jazz lineage and a new collective emerging from London's vibrant jazz scene. The result is music that unfolds with openness and intensity, guided by deep listening and collective improvisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt the centre of the project is Bartz, one of the most influential voices in modern jazz. A saxophonist whose career spans more than five decades, Bartz emerged performing with Charles Mingus, Max Roach and Art Blakey before joining Miles Davis during the trumpeter's electrifying early-1970s period. He soon became a defining figure of the spiritual jazz movement through his celebrated NTU Troop recordings, creating a body of work that continues to resonate across generations of musicians and listeners alike. His playing - lyrical, searching and unmistakably soulful - remains one of the most distinctive voices in jazz. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe album also marks the arrival of Your Brother's Keeper, a new collective assembled by drummer and producer Jake Long (Maisha) and rooted and shared in musical dialogue and improvisation. Featuring Ali MacSween (piano, synthesizers and modular FX), Axel Kaner-Lidstrom (trumpet), Twm Dylan (double bass), Tim Doyle (percussion) and Chelsea Carmichael (tenor saxophone), alongside Long on drums, the group reflects a scene that has reshaped the sound of contemporary jazz over the past decade. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFFO - Floating Points \u0026amp; Pharoah Saunders - Promises, Shabaka, Yussef Dayes, Nubya Garcia.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUPC: 5060180327736\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Your Brother's Keeper \u0026 Gary Bartz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49029912330491,"sku":null,"price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0431\/2606\/3262\/files\/YourBrother_sKeeper-whereriversmeet.jpg?v=1783089536","url":"https:\/\/rustandwax.com\/products\/where-rivers-meet","provider":"Rust \u0026 Wax Record Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
