Recording at Malcom Catto’s analogue studio has been an ambition of Greg’s for a long time, not only for the studio itself but for Malcolm’s skill using this vintage equipment, very few people can achieve such an incredibly big sound.

In amongst the more rhythmic pieces we also have some classic Foat style compositions; ‘Lake Kussharo’ and ‘The Dreaming Jewels’ as emotive and personal as ever, a feeling that can only be expressed and articulated in music.

Earlier this year we grabbed the chance to get the full Greg Foat group joined by Binker Golding (Binker and Moses) on Tenor Saxophone, Malcolm Catto on drums and Hugh Harris (The Kooks) on Guitar on the session.

Moving to a more rhythmic space, you could call it Jazz funk or Fusion, but labels suck so just listen and appreciate the pure sense of space Malcom achieves with this recording. Instruments float in space, aided by the Vintage EMI desk and a host of valve equipment which has taken Malcolm a lifetime to collect. In amongst the more rhythmic pieces we also have some classic Foat style compositions; ‘Lake Kussharo’ and ‘The Dreaming Jewels’ as emotive and personal as ever, a feeling that can only be expressed and articulated in music. These past few years will no doubt be looked back on with great favour in musical history, with prolific and high quality output in all his various projects this LP is his crowning achievement of 2019. A strong year indeed!

Greg Foat returns with analog jazz-funk album ‘The Dreaming Jewels’

In what has turned into quite a productive year for Greg Foat, the London-based pianist follows up a number of incredible releases for Edinburgh’s Athens of The North label, including the one of the year’s best albums in The Mage, and released another brilliant full-length to close out the year, titled The Dreaming Jewels.

For this recording, Foat teams up with an all-star cast of musicians including drummer and recording engineer Malcolm Catto of The Heliocentrics, tenor saxophonist Binker Golding (notably of Binker & Moses), and guitarist Hugh Harris of The Kooks. Recorded in Catto’s fully analog basement studio, known now as the mythical Quatermass Sound Lab, the eight song album features a heavy dose of warm-toned jazz-funk, library, and fusion grooves.

Even though this album is only a total of around thirty-seven minutes, The Dreaming Jewels LP is pure quality from start to finish, the kind of recording that you find yourself playing on constant repeat. Overall, another remarkable and undeniably well-recorded albums from one of today’s most forward-thinking musicians and composers.
