Ishmael Ensemble - Visions Of Light (July 16, 2021)

Bristol experimental jazz collective Ishmael Ensemble reveal their expansive new album "Visions Of Light". The follow-up to their critically acclaimed 2019 debut "A State of Flow", praised by the likes of The Guardian, MOJO, The WIRE and tastemakers across BBC 6Music, this sophomore record sees the group reimagine what an ‘ensemble’ can do: expanding into a shifting collective, where human relationships between artists underpin far-ranging, stunningly ambitious and emotionally-heavyweight compositions.
