Chip Wickham - The Eternal Now
Saxophonist, flautist and producer Chip Wickham casts a formidable shadow across the worldwide jazz landscape.
Originally from Brighton, but now dividing his time between the UK, Spain and the Middle-East, he has made a name for himself with a series of beautifully crafted solo albums that draw equally on the hard swinging spiritual jazz of Roland Kirk, Yusef Lateef and Sahih Shihab, alongside the music of British jazz legends such as Tubby Hayes and Harold McNair and the more contemporary sounds of Jazzanova, Kyoto Jazz Massive and Robert Glasper.
His close working relationship with Matthew Halsallās Gondwana Records has spanned close to two decades (since he played on Halsallās 2008 debut āSending My Loveā) and has since released three standout releases on the label (the āCloud 10ā LP, and the āAstral Travellingā and āLove & Lifeā EPās).
Once again returning to the heralded label, he now prepares to release his elegant fifth studio album āThe Eternal Nowā.
Further exploring his penchant for hard-hitting soulful, spiritual jazz and modal hard-bop, it denotes an exciting new chapter in his much- revered discography, once which sees his unbridled artist flourish into new and fruitful pastures.
