Mammal Hands
nu jazzA UK trio playing piano-led jazz with one foot in minimalism and another in meditative drone — Jordan Smart's piano on 'Becoming' moves in careful repetitions that slowly accumulate into something emotionally heavy. It's somewhere between Nils Frahm's classical economy and the spiritual jazz warmth of early Matthew Halsall, which is an unusual address to occupy. Released on Gondwana, the same Manchester label doing some of the most interesting jazz-adjacent work in the UK.
