Red Hot Ice

Paul Dunmall continues his run of very special releases on Discus Music. Working with a nine piece group centred around his Birmingham based colleagues, and which includes double keys and electronics, Dunmall delivers a swirling mix of spacey big band music which breaks down into atmospheric and exciting open ended improvisations from time to time. Paul considers this to be a milestone release, and one which is unlike anything else in his extensive discography.

Produced by Martin Archer and Corey Mwamba, who deliberately had in mind a Sun Ra style vibe for this one!
