The Beautiful Storm- Hungry Star
Hungry Star by The Beautiful Storm
A new band formed in 2022, The Beautiful Storm features Tabla maestro Gyan Singh from Delhi, India, and Guitar virtuoso Graeme Stephen from Aberdeen, Scotland, both long-term collaborators with Phil. This recording of new compositions and improvisations was made in October 2022 in 'Ringo' barn at Phil's farm. The recordings are as yet not properly mixed, but the natural acoustic in Ringo is so beautiful, we think it already sounds quite lovely. Let's see if you agree?

| Heart In Mouth | 09:54 | × This piece uses Jai Taal, the beautiful and formidably difficult Thala (rhythmic cycle) from Indian Classical Music (Hindustani), and places it into a contemporary jazz context. The cycle is 13 (or 6 and a half) beats long, and thus allows only particular permutations of 2 and 3 quaver groupings during improvisations. Recorded inside Ringo barn Borthwick, during October 2022 by Phil's new band The Beautiful Storm, from the album 'Hungry Star' which will be released in early 2024.
