purple2001 Heard “ Tubby’s Chaser “ on our local Jazz station. Sourced the album on Spotify - listened - it was love at first listen. Hoped I could get vinyl on Bandcamp - was successful!!

Carsten Pieper Ah, and yet another fantastic "spiritual jazz" album from Manchester, er, sorry, Madrid. Anyways, Chip has been working with the Mancunian in-crowd in the past and now, his full-length debut for Matthew Halsall's Gondwana Records fits perfectly into the label's roster.
The shiny HD version (24-96) is a dream and does the musical content honour.
Hard to pick a favourite, as the sax is my instrument of choice, but Chip's flute playing is a joy to behold -and no way leads around Tubby Chaser ;-)) Favorite track: Tubby Chaser.

Busha Mann This is my fav track Favorite track: Tubby Chaser.

about

Saxophonist, flautist Chip Wickham takes us to Cloud 10 with his most soulful and lyrical album to date

Chip Wickham is a jazz musician and producer who divides his time between Spain, UK and the Middle-East and who has made a name for himself with a series of beautifully crafted solo albums that draw equally on the hard swinging spiritual jazz of Roland Kirk, Yusef Lateef and Sahih Shihab, alongside the music of British jazz legends such as Tubby Hayes and Harold McNair and the more contemporary sounds of Jazzanova, Kyoto Jazz Massive and Robert Glasper.

Originally from Brighton, Chip studied in Manchester and became involved in the 00's UK jazz, soul. trip-hop and funk scenes, working with the likes of The Pharcyde, The New Mastersounds and Nightmares On Wax as well as playing with Matthew Halsall's Gondwana Orchestra. And his relationship with Gondwana Records goes right back to the very beginning as he played on Halsall's 2008 debut Sending My Love.

Cloud 10 is his debut album for Gondwana Records and it is a wonderful, timeless, lyrical, slice of hard-hitting, soulful, spiritual jazz and modal hard-bop with a distinctly UK flavour - driven by Chip's deftly funky flute work and hard-hitting tenor. Underpinned by Chip's restless energy and driven by his desire to connect with the listener on a deeper level.

"My albums are my legacy. Each one is a statement to the world of music and my contribution to its growth, its energy and ultimately it's history."

I normally only listen to electronic music, but after listening to this album months ago I found it kept calling out to me. Now after purchasing it I can see why. I am totally addicted to its beauty and harmony. Thank you so much for the wax version, as it is the only form of music I collect. kaosskid
