Celestial Stranger
Part solo recording, part band album it successfully combines both elements and also delivers a successful and beguiling mix of electric and acoustic sounds embracing a variety of musical styles.
The playing of every musician involved is exceptional and the performances are dynamic and exciting, with Raja’s bass a unifying force as he explores a broad range of music from east and west.
A genuinely impressive piece of work, intimate but ambitious and featuring intelligent original writing and inventive arrangements alongside some brilliant playing.
DeRungs is an emerging artist with plenty to say, a supremely accomplished pianist and also the visionary force behind this varied and very impressive album.
Gripper & Jeffery shine in the exposed setting of the piano / vocal duo. These are songs that convince both musically and lyrically, there is real musical and emotional intelligence at work here.
