Blending together many elements that have been present on many of Foat’s most recent solo albums and more ambient collaborative efforts, this incredible nine track recording fuses together jazz-funk, synth laden cosmic grooves, cinematic spacey tones, and electronic-based modulated melodies. As with many of Foat’s recordings, there is a heavy dose of Fender Rhodes, Moog, and analog based synths present throughout each track. From start to finish, Blue Lotus takes listeners on an orbiting journey through a sonic trip that no one will be in a rush to get off of.
The session also features GFG members tenor saxophonist Rob March, flugelhorn player Trevor Walker, and bassist Phil Achille, along with special guests legendary British soprano saxophonist Art Themen, percussionist Eric Young, Morgan Simpson (Black Midi) on drums, James Thorpe on bass (who Greg Foat collaborated with on 2019’s Photosynthesis), and vocalist Kat Bernard on “Lullaby For Leo”.
