Today I am introducing to you a very interesting concept: Ancient Infinity Orchestra, a UK 16-member spiritual jazz ensemble that has communal music-making at the heart of everything they do, led by bassist and composer Ozzy Moysey. Two double basses, harp, saxophones, clarinets, violin, viola, cello, oboe, flutes, mandolin, congas, piano, drum kit, with bells, shakers and even more percussion instruments. What is this bouquet of instruments that is happening here?
Their sound channels classic 70s spiritual jazz alongside modern UK jazz arrangements and meditative ambient textures.
"Illuminations" is part of their latest album, It's Always About Liberation. With a very relaxing vibe going on, the song is balanced very well, as every group of instruments has its moment to stand out. A track with a lot of emotional depth, offering a deeply grounding soundtrack for quiet moments and deep-listening sessions. Check it out if it sounds like your cup of tea!
