Joshua Cavanagh-Brierley / Joy In Bewilderment (July 16, 2021)

From a string quartet to a 12-piece horn section led ensemble, (including three drummers), to solo piano to vocal-led storytelling. This album roams through a multitude of colour with all original compositions that span from heavily arranged to heavy improvisation. It accommodates an incredibly versatile ensemble and features guest performers Chris Potter, Caoilfhionn Rose and the Amika String Quartet.
