about

Written as a response to the death of George Floyd in May 2020, 'another black death EP' introduces a new octet, with vibraphone patterns like a bells tolling and lush brass textures.

Co-led by two Norwich-based musicians - trumpeter Chris Dowding and saxophonist Rob Milne - the octet also features London-based musicians such as saxophonist Dee Byrne and trombonist Raph Clarkson (both heard as soloists on this EP). The EP comprises two pieces, one each by the leaders, augmented by the electronics of Morris Masuda, and held together by the tuba playing of Ben Higham.

The EP was recorded remotely from September 2020 to March 2021, during lockdown. Profits from this EP will be given to a Black Lives Matter organisation.
