Exciting instrumental trio music featuring guitar, Hammond organ and drums; played by established iconic British musicians. The music has a strong connection to both rock and jazz, and the grooves are hypnotically funky and engaging.

For musical reference points think the likes of Focus, John Scofield, Soft Machine, Tony Williams’ Lifetime and you’ll get a good inkling of the style and
leaning of this album.

Played live in the studio, this record captures those spontaneous moments that can only happen when the players and the music just click. The whole approach to this record was to just “play”, have fun, stretch out as much as the moment demanded, and not worry about commercial considerations; as a result documenting unscripted, magical moments.

Rob Koral is known for his work with the 80’s cult band SKETCH, and in recent times, with Zoe Schwarz Blue Commotion. Pete Whittaker is a genuine Hammond organ specialist, playing with the likes of Jim Mullen, Nigel Price, John Ethridge and Theo Travis. Jeremy Stacey is one of the one of contemporary music’s most revered drummers, currently in King Crimson and with a titanic CV.
