SUMMARY:Matt Carmichael: Dancing with Embers
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM - 2 set(s) of music\n \nLine-up:\nMatt Carmichael - Tenor Saxophone\n\nFergus McCreadie - Piano\n\nCharlie Stewart - Violin\n\nAli Watson - Double Bass\n\nTom Potter - Drums\n\n \nAbout\nHeralded by BBC Music Magazine as 'a distinctive new voice in a crowded scene’\, Glasgow based saxophonist/composer Matt Carmichael continues to thrive with his powerfully emotive blend of melodic Jazz and Folk music.\n\nReleased on 28th March - 'Dancing with Embers' is a collection of emotionally driven instrumental songs where melody takes centre stage\,Carmichael’s new album features four of his closest friends and long-term collaborators. The quintet\, playing together since they were teenagers\, have developed a special chemistry grounded in collective improvisation. His most ambitious work to date\, Dancing With Embers sees the saxophonist expand his soundworld with guests Rachel Sermanni (voice)\, Brìghde Chaimbeul (small pipes)\, Chris Amer and Innes White (guitars) alongside his core quintet including pianist Fergus McCreadie.\n\nThe record’s warm\, intimate sound leans more into influences from singer-songwriters such as Adrienne Lenker and Bon Iver than Carmichael’s previous works. He explains ‘I listened to more singer-songwriters than anything else in the time period I wrote Dancing with Embers and wanted to create an album where the focus is on the song and not so much on having any typical Jazz solos... on live gigs the band have free reign and improvisation is at the core\, but I approached the recording of this album a little differently.’\n\n \n\n[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDXhT78NlV8[/embed]
