Get the Blessing saxophonist Jake McMurchie's jazz trio is named after a revolutionary 19th century scientific experiment that's something to do with the Aether Drift of the title of the album. It might sound a bit cerebral and nerdy, but don't let that put you off. It's the debut album (the result of 20 years preparation, according to its leader) of the Bristol-based saxophonist, and you could say it's well in keeping with the sound and spirit of GTB's music, especially last year's Lope and Antilope CD. We're instantly into Blessing territory with the opener's rockabilly-style sax riffing that's framed by a tasteful array of electronic effects and super airtight grooves. But McMurchie's his own man and there's a significant spacier, jazztronic dimension to this album that recalls bands such as Iain Ballamy's ambient Nordic duo Food. On Aether Drift, McMurchie finds a penetrating mix of the two. A live recording with no overdubs, the CD nonetheless has all the hallmarks of a contemporary studio production. Released on the F-IRE Collective label, the sparse textures and nu-groove-with-loops aspects link to post-rock aesthetic as much as they do contemporary UK jazz. But it's more than good enough to get the blessing from Jazzwise.
