about

All proceeds earned from this release will be donated to two organisations. Firstly, Tomorrow’s Warriors, a charity dedicated to educating young people in jazz music at a level that matches conservatoire education. They place a special focus on women and young people whose heritage is from the African diaspora. The second organisation is an app developed by one of our tenor saxophonists, Deji Ijishakin, which in his own words is a “philosophical and economic entity which seeks to buy black, build black, and back black commerce.”

'Wave Potentiality' comes from the quantum mechanics theory and more specifically an experiment called the double split. In a nutshell it states all particles, the fundamental building blocks of reality, exist as a wave prior to observation. A potential to manifest itself into form. Into what however, we do not know.

Just as our hearts pump iron around our body, that metal originates from past stars forming and exploding, forming and exploding, scattering iron out into the universe. As above, so below. As below, so above.

We believe this tune serves as a beautiful metaphor to the wave of potential our generation across the globe indeed possesses. It is a potential to elicit great change, and the wave of people taking to the streets around the world is proof of this.

Whilst we could not have foreseen the current events when we composed the tune, or have these events in mind when we decided upon the title, the concept we believe holds meaning to the cause we are supporting.

As with all our work, this song was composed collectively, with each member contributing freely and equally to the creation of the group’s music. As such, overall vision of each project is a sum total of the participants influences and aspirations.
