Revered composer, pianist, DJ and two decade-long bridge between jazz, dance and hip-hop, Mark de Clive-Lowe (MdCL), links up with influential drummer/producer/DJ, Shigeto and Brooklyn-based, Haitian-rooted, flautist/songwriter and Verve Records artist - Melanie Charles on Hotel San Claudio, a collaborative LP of spiritual jazz, live deconstructed beats, and a three-track set of Pharoah Sanders reinterpretations. 'Strings' speaks to the group?s love of hip-hop, with Shigeto?s Dilla-esque ?hanging off the beat? slap and Melanie Charles? deft rhymes and MdCL?s sample-chops, whilst 'Kanazawa' references a love of soulful house, with Charles? 70s disco/fusion-tipping flute solo, leading into a euphoric and climactic club outro. The warrior-themed Bushido, first heard on MdCL?s album Heritage, leans even heavier on 70s jazz fusion as MdCL?s unruly synth impulsions and Donald Byrd-leaning soul-jazz production strides the line between atmospheric and experimental. MFT showcases Charles? jazz vocals, treated here with big reverbs and delays, affording a vast, celestial quality that stands present throughout Hotel San Claudio. One musician the group kept circling back to as a major influence was saxophone titan and cosmic sage, Pharoah Sanders. The trio?s absorbing 2-part versioning of Sanders? 30m-long classic ?The Creator Has A Master Plan? as well as his iconic ?Love Is Everywhere? become the centrepiece of Hotel San Claudio?s spiritually-focused, reimagined jazz core. Bandcamp give's this Release Date as March 24, 2023 CD and back of sleeve say 2021
