Super double A-side digital single from London based Nikos Ziarkas with 'Wounds Of Color' / 'Run Run Stop No' out on Deep Mountain Records.
If you recall Valia Calda's album 'Homeland' (see review HERE) that there were strong Fripp & ENO connections but when Nikos gets his own release, there's more Ezra Collective, Colosseum, King Crimson jazz-rock connections; especially on the fusion heavy 'Run Run Stop No'.
Not surprising, as Valia Calda's co-founder, has also collaborated with Theon Cross, Moses Boyd and Ron Trent. Chicago house legent Ron Trent? Wonder what he could do on the remix of 'Wounds Of Color' that show Nikos' more ambient/experimental side; for a hint of what Ron Trent could do, check Trinidadian Deep's 'Moments Of Sounds EP (see
HERE). What it does feature is the trumpet of Andreas Polysopoulos that really adds to the atmosphere.
What with Ezra Collective selling out Wembley receently and the next wave of London jazzers following this years' London Jazz Festival (like LEJD, see review HERE or even SHOLTO, see review HERE), it's a good time to follow Nikos Ziarkas, Polysopoulous and Chelsea Carmichael (UK saxophonist) in a nu-jazz-rock fusion on Deep Mountain Records.
