Description

CD

Following their acclaimed debut The Summoned on Acid Jazz in 2023, Mama Terra return with a new album – Chameleons: Live Interpretations of Herbie Hancock.

The album recasts Hancocks iconic works in a new, live setting, as a basis for both homage and exploration, with Headhunters being a prime influence for leader Marco Cafolla. The album grew out of Jazz FMs Classic Albums series, and was recorded live at the Glasgow International Jazz Festival in June 2024. The performance demonstrates the prowess of Mama Terra as a live outfit.

Led by Marco Cafolla (Keyboards), musicians include Konrad Wiszniewski (Tenor Sax), Rachel Lightbody (Vocals), Ross David Saunders (Upright Bass + Mix Engineer) & Doug Hough (Drums). Known for their fresh and invigorated take on spiritual jazz, with soul and R&B influences, Mama Terra showcased at the 2024 SXSWFestival in Austin, Texas, alongside a host of festival and jazz club appearances. Chameleons… shows a band in ascendency.
