harvey sutherland: amethyst
Francisco Espregueira
Flowing creativity and bold arrangements in his unmistakable style, directly from Melbourne, Harvey Sutherland is back with a small EP of 3 tracks - Amethyst. The australian producer and instrumentalist carves this project between the vibes of Melbourne and London. Opposite sides of the globe that meet here, especially on the first cut featuring the tenor sax of Nubya Garcia.
Taking on London's underground broken beat legacy, the two original tracks are filled with a magnificent urban pace, smooth on the details, uplifting on its energy. Inspirational saxophonist Nubya Garcia adds her horn groove, a delicious, adventurous post-bop and modern jazz melody, demonstrating an incessant search for something new. Rings Around Saturn remix “I Can See,” taking full advantage of its incredible drums, playing with class around it. Released last week by Clarity Recordings, Amethyst is available in vinyl and digital formats.
