Luke Stewart - bass
Jarvis Earnshaw - sitar, loops

Nicely flowing, mostly acoustic (+ loops!) session from these youngsters; the sitar is a nice and unexpected touch.
“Bassist Luke Stewart was called “one of the 25 most influential jazz artists of his generation” by Downbeat Magazine.
Few artists have been more central to my listening over the last few years than Luke Stewart. His work is in constant motion as he maps out a singular path, exploring an ever-expanding sonic palette. That said, some of his most engaging work has been in ensembles whether it was the all-timer Exposure Quinet release on Astral Spirits last year, all things Irreversible Entanglements, or this intriguing quartet co-led by sitarist Jarvis Earnshaw and featuring Ryan Sawyer on drums and Devin Waldman on alto sax.
Across six pieces the group gets into a lot of different zones. Challenging listeners to stay engaged, focusing in on the spectral nature of the place where chaos and solace meet, there’s plenty of room to fly here. The exploratory feeling present throughout the session is a bright cosmic carrot dangled toward the horizon, inviting anyone in earshot to lace ‘em up and seek without turning back when the hard rains come.”
