Jorge Pereira Hello Chip, I came across your music through Gondwana, since I am an assumed fan of Matthew Halsall work not only as a musician also as producer.
Cloud 10 and Love and Life were my first records and I simply loved them. Blue to Red will be the next.
Since you are based in Madrid, and I'm from Portugal, who knows I can attend one of your shows. Keep the great work. Cheers

0=0 Nice arrangements played wonderfully by people with personalities that are perfectly recorded.

also really like the EP format for this style of music.

great stuff from Chip Wickham and crew as always.

StrangeFlow I guess you only need 10 seconds of a Chip Wickham song to tell who's the musician behind the soundscapes that crawl into your ear. His playing is distinctive and virtuosic and the themes for dreaming away. Sweet EP for fans of dreamy jazz with harp and earworm melodies from flute and sax! Favorite track: Space Walk.

ibr Another wonderful release from Mr Wickham. Perfect soundtrack to the end of summer. Favorite track: Love & Life.

einhorn1 This album puts me in a good mood. Excellent spiritual jazz, great flutist.

about

“Life is nothing without love. Love is the force that drives our journey in life. Life is love and love is life.”

UK jazz master Chip Wickham follows last year’s brilliant soulful long-player Cloud 10 with a deftly crafted, reflective EP of beautiful spiritual jazz influenced by the soulful sounds of Yusef Lateef. Chip’s music has always drawn on a broad world of influences: from hip-hop to Roland Kirk, and from classic funk to the ‘60s Brit-Jazz of Tubby Hayes. But Love & Life finds him foregrounding his wonderful flute playing, producing a perfect four-tracker of reflective, peaceful jazz that elevates and inspires as well as a trademark slice of boppish soul jazz – the jaunty Space Walk.

Elsewhere lead single Love & Life is a joyous jazz waltz with an uplifting, bouncing groove and Slow Down Look Around is introspective and intimate, featuring Chip’s signature flute with a beautiful solo from UK trumpeter Malcolm Strachan. Chip explains that the track presents “a big lesson for us to learn as the world changes around us with such speed. The technology changes but our human needs remain the same: peace, tranquillity and time to think.”

I do not understand jazz or why I love the work of Matthew Halsall and the Gondwana Muscicians so much, but … oh boy … this really connects to me in a way I have hardly ever experienced with any other music … as if theres a direct cable from my heart to this album … Benjamin
