The Rituals Of Infinity

Description

Keyboardist and composer Greg Foat is back with his new album. Greg's first memory of the piano dates back to his aunt's house at the age of 3 - where he fell off the piano stool. Since then, his relationship with the piano has evolved into a fulfilling and successful career. He began to take an interest in composition at the age of 11 and truly ignited his love for jazz after attending a workshop with Jeff Clyne, Olaf Vas, Trevor Tomkins and Nick Weldon at the age of 15. He then studied jazz at Middlesex University, followed by 6 months in Sweden on an Erasmus scholarship which led to his first professional studio session there at age 21. Greg has since worked as a professional musician and has shaped a wonderfully multifaceted career in the musical genre of jazz.The album "The Rituals of Infinity" draws inspiration from many elements. Some tracks are named after iconic science fiction books such as The Rituals Of Infinity, A Private Cosmos, The Dark Labyrinth and The World of the Red Sun. The album features legendary Art Themen on soprano and tenor saxophones, and Trevor Walker on trumpet and flugelhorn in a refined supporting role in harmony with Katherine Farnden on cor anglais.
