Lovingly executed third album by Build An Ark. Sounding like classic 70's folk jazz! Well recommended! Build An Ark, the Los Angeles-based community of singers, and musicians, release their third album ‘Love’ - and their hearts just keep getting bigger.
This record is their meditation on love - its varying forms and moods, its ecstatic and soothing powers. Build An Ark, under the production of Carlos Niño, have made an album which flows with a real range of volume and density, with arrangements and configurations contrasting against each other. The group has still kept their organic sound while adding several more layers, and charting a distinct progression from their previous two albums.
Inspired by the spirit of Laurel Canyon, Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Neil Young and Joni Mitchell as much as Alice and John Coltrane, Michael White, Pharoah Sanders, and Swami Satchidinanda, the membership of Build An Ark has swelled to 45, bringing more instruments like guitars, strings, brass, reeds, and sitar, on top of the pianos, organs, singers, drummers, and percussionists-all played live!
Many notable muscians including Impulse! violinist Michael White, singers Mia Doi Todd and Diana Moriera, Tribe co-founder Phil Ranelin, poet Kamau Daaood, spiritual baritone Dwight Trible, and tireless arranger Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, all under the guidance of production standard-bearer Carlos Niño. The sound of ‘Love’ is the sound of a family at one with the universe - and it comes straight from the heart.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
