about

One of the deepest and most popular tracks from the last Amanda Whiting album on Jazzman Records gets a very special remix treatment from Brighton-based producer Chris Cracknell, but this really is much more than a remix. With two new vocal additions from PEACH. and Mat Lloyd, this is a reimagining in so many ways.

"The original track felt like it gave me space to reflect on the question ‘where would we be?’ We have such brilliant minds and have the solutions to most of the worlds problems, but yet, here we are. I’m guilty of spending a lot of time in my own mind imagining better futures, personally and globally, and I got thinking maybe if we were more present, instead of imagining these futures we could build them. I wanted to use Amanda’s original track to create a context into which I could present PEACH. and Mat, and their take on these ideas."

Hypnotic drums and bass leave endless space for the poetry to take a powerful centre here, all wrapped in the beauty of Amanda's beguiling playing.

From Wales, the home of the harp, Amanda has taken her classical roots and forged them in the path of jazz harpists Dorothy Ashby and Alice Coltrane. With her unique style resulting in a nomination for the Jazz FM “2021 Instrumentalist of the Year” award.

She has toured extensively with Matthew Halsall and the Gondwana Orchestra performing at Jazz festivals around the world. More recent collaborations have included recording and touring with Chip Wickham, Greg Foat, D J Yoda and Rebecca Vasmant, with performances at Ronnie Scott’s, Manheim, We Jazz Helsinki and XJazz Berlin to name a few.

Her debut album ‘After Dark’ sold out and was met with great reviews from DJs including Jamie Cullum with a Take 5 appearance on his BBC Radio 2 show.
