Keyboard player and pianist
Charlie Stacey
fuses jazz-piano virtuosity with dark synth textures and grooves on his first solo project -- a direct-to-disc, one take recording for Night Dreamer Records. One of the UK's leading keys players, Charlie Stacey improvisational skills are unmatched. Known for his work with
Yussef Dayes
and fellow
Tomorrow Warrio
's alumni such as
Moses Boyd
, Stacey's technical prowess and ability to jump between genres has quietly gained the young pianist a reputation as one of the most advanced players around. Fronting a band for his debut recording under his own name, Stacey had to bring that knack for improvisation to the fore. Alongside his regular band of
Oscar Ogden
(drums),
Tom Driessler
(bass), and
Jay Phelps
(trumpet), Stacey was joined in the studio for the first time by vocalist
Vula Malinga
-- who has performed with
Basement Jaxx
and
Incognito
-- and Holland-based Senegalese percussionist,
Mamour Seck
. Together, the group forged four sprawling jams from the white heat of the direct-to-disc recording process. As an agile and highly adaptive performer and composer, Stacey allowed the new line-up to shape the sound in unexpected ways. What began as a
Headhunters
-era
Herbie Hancock
instrumental tip erred instead towards old school jazz scat in places, ethereal RnB and
Kamasi Washington
-esque lyrical space-ballads in others. From the soulful acid jazz sound that Malinga brings to opening track "Music is Healing", to the Afro-Cuban twist on Stacey's signature "Charlie's Tune", there is a spontaneity to the recordings that give them a collective urgency true to the essence of the jazz tradition. Drawing on the sounds of classic jazz-funk keyboard players like
Chick Corea
and
George Duke
, "Rivers of Gondor" pays tribute to what Stacey calls "the imaginative world of JRR Tolkien", with all its dark and wistful folk-inspired turns. A staple of Stacey's live sets, it is joined on the B-Side by "Mamour's Tune", which was written and recorded on the day and foregrounds the astonishing rhythmic and melodic character of Marmour Seck's playing. As a touring live musician, Stacey relished the opportunity to record with the same levels of jeopardy. A riot of collaborative improvisation and acrobatic syncopation, Stacey's Night Dreamer Session captures a singular coming together of musicians from across the jazz world, performing at the peak of their creative powers.
