Description:

Strut presents an exclusive new collaboration between UK jazz keyboardist Greg Foat and Venetian ambient / electronic maestro Gigi Masin on â??Dolphinâ??. Recorded remotely during 2021-2022 the album took shape in the form of mutual compositions, gradually developed and embellished online. Final recording sessions took place at the majestic Chale Abbey Studios on the Isle Of Wight with Moses Boyd (drums), Tom Herbert (bass) and Siobhan Cosgrove (flute, clarinet) adding elements to several pieces. Tracks include the reflective, wistful single â??Viento Calidoâ?? and drifting ambient piece â??Sabenaâ??, a beautiful tribute to Gigiâ??s wife who sadly passed away during 2022. Greg Foat has recorded prolifically in recent years for Athens Of The North, Jazzman and Strut including acclaimed albums Symphonie Pacifique (2020) and The Mage (2019). Best known for his 1986 ambient masterpiece Wind and as a member of Gaussian Curve, Gigi Masin has enjoyed a revival in recent years through his Calypso album on R&Sâ??s Apollo label and renewed touring. Dolphin represents Greg and Gigiâ??s first landmark recording collaboration together. â??I first heard Gigiâ??s album Wind in 2016,â? remembers Greg. â??I was living in Miami and I heard it playing one Summer evening. Since then, it has always been in my mind to be able to record together.â? -
