Press Text
'A vibrant set of original tunes… thrilling back-and-forth between the two saxophonists—but even in the midst of the most exuberant solos a pronounced sense of collective groove held sway.' - All About Jazz
Umbra effortlessly move between the rich harmonic world of contemporary jazz , the cyclical grooves of bands like Aphex Twin and Meshuggah, all played with the energy of a punk rock band.
Displaying an approach to ensemble writing that has drawn influences from John Hollenbeck & Jim McNeely.
Led by guitarist & composer Chris Guilfoyle, the music cleverly integrates this smorgasbord of influences to distill a band sound that is decidedly contemporary and indeed complex, but one which never loses sight of the melody.
