Ancient Infinity Orchestra - River of Light. A couple of preview tracks (on Qobuz) from this album, out at the end of the week. Leeds based 14 piece jazz outfit, getting their first full length release on Matthew Halsall’s Gondwana Records. Based on these tracks, a fine addition to the Gondwana roster, and one I will be looking to see live. Definitely one for you, @seakayaker
