Led by the electric valve instrument of Philip Topping the Tritone Asylum band with Ian Vo-Allen Mascari/ts, Gar Herbig/fl-ss, Mitch Forman-Henri Wilkinson/key, Peter Sepsis/b, Dave Johnstone/dr and guests tap into the grooves and sounds of vintage Headhunters on this funk fested session.There’s some cool synth work on the Memphis swamp of “Schizophrenic” while trombony tones glide over the warm “The Road to Hue”. Voices frame Sepsis’ sleek bass line on “Malawi” while Herbig’s soprano creates an ENYA atmosphere on the electric “Ballad for Nongna”. Fusion fests like “Simple” and the more acoustic “First Days of Summer” bring back recollections of the heady days of Hancock’s Mwandishi days. Plugged in pleasures.
