Sean Wolcott - Flying Free LP [JAZZ / FUSION] (Clockwork Records)

*Guest releases to the Wax Thématique online store are curated for their level of notable quality, creative ingenuity and uncompromising artistry.

Our partnership with Sean Wolcott's Clockwork Records continues! “Flying Free,” the latest album from Sean Wolcott, propels listeners on a Jazz Fusion voyage through the skies, continuing the astral journey started with “Liquid Landscapes.” This album captures the thrilling ascent of free flight with floating electric piano, soaring synthesizers, dreamy vocals, and an ever-pulsating rhythm section, taking listeners through ominous storm clouds, serene skyscapes, and ultimately reaching the ethereal upper atmosphere.

The ever-prolific Wolcott explores bold new directions here, building on the foundation of past albums and introducing a spectrum of fresh musical nuances. At times, the album evokes the peak 1970s jazz experimentation of acts like Return to Forever, Weather Report, Soul Media, Herbie Hancock, and Lonnie Liston Smith, all while carving a path of its own.
