about

Recorded early 2021 in Jake's makeshift studio, 'Cascade' documents new explorations through a DnB and jungle nebulous whilst simultaneously paying homage to the pioneers of the jazz piano trio format. Boundary-pushing and adventurous, an energetic evolution transports listeners with high intensity drumming, the use of bass guitar distortion and slamming piano motifs. The piece is constructed of three extended improvised sections.


"The dizzying synth arpeggios and aggressively slick drumming in 'Cascade' puts me in such a state of euphoria. Jake is able to say so much with such little instrumentation - the strong sense of form, melody and emotional potency shines through. Love it!!!" - Moses Carr

"'Cascade' manages to paint an especially vivid picture over its six minute runtime, its constant evolution luring us through a swirl that blends together elements of drum & bass and jungle, as well as jazz-inspired improv. It truly does feel like a voyage; forever testing our expectations while expanding into something equally fulfilling, disorientating and transportive." - James Lynch, via Trouble Juice
