On September 13, 2019, American trombonist, composer and producer Peter Zummo releases his latest album, Deep Drive, on Tin Angel Records’ new imprint, Unheard Of Hope. Emerging from the interdisciplinary avant-garde of New York City’s downtown scene, Zummo’s work over the years with Arthur Russell, the Love of Life orchestra, the Downtown Ensemble, Flying Hearts and Lounge Lizards has enabled him to create a style he ironically described as “much more minimalism.” Across the five tracks on Deep Drive, Zummo refines the work he describes as “a composition by and for an ensemble” with five very different musicians. With longtime bassist Ernie Brooks and percussionist Bill Ruyle, Zummo plays with three new collaborators on Deep Drive: turntablist Keith McIvor (aka JD Twitch of Optimo), electronic producer and trombonist Ralph Cumbers (aka Bass Clef) and cellist Oliver Coates; a sextet combining Zummo’s “open-form” composition and performance techniques with electronic and live instrumentation, vocal processing, collage and speech. The music on Deep Drive was recorded in 2014, when Zummo led a UK tour with the aim of bringing together three American musicians and three British musicians for the first time. The group gave four consecutive shows in October 2014
