An LP of delicious, delicate jazz- and African-inflected instrumentals by the Manchester jazz trumpeter, here with a gorgeous, colourful palette of sounds – woodwind, harp, electronica, thumb piano, organ and his own beautiful brass. Inspired by staying at an architect’s house with breathtaking sea views, it’s a composition he sees as “like a landscape painting”. Listening to this album is about as calming as any release this year, with highlights including Water Street, the title track, Field of Vision (with added birdsong), Jewels and Triangles In The Sky, but all of it is a dream-filled delight. The whole view simply ripples with pleasure. Out on Gondwana Records.
