Tulei [LP]

Tulei is a Milan project born from the friendship between saxophonist Andrea "Jimmy" Catagnoli and Davide Domenichini of Al Doum & The Faryds. The saxophone leads, but rather than chasing classic free jazz, the duo lean into elegiac, minimal and cinematic spiritual jazz: light sax loops, soft impressionistic touches and slow, meditative progressions that recall 1970s South African jazz and open out into free improvisation. Lyrical night music, part requiem and part hushed fanfare.

On vinyl LP from Black Sweat Records.
