With Weightless, their second LP, London-based soul/jazz ensemble Teotima are celebrating friendship, creativity, love, meditation, progress, and the work of being happy.
After the release of their debut LP Counting The Ways, First Word label boss Aly Gillani suggested that Greg Sanders, Teotima’s musical director and guitarist, might like to try writing for a smaller ensemble, to tour with. In response, Greg and co have crafted 7 tracks that take full advantage of the remarkable breadth and depth of talent within the band’s core members.
“One of the most important things about Teotima is that the music is written with the specific players in mind - each player’s vibe - their voice and character on their instrument is an essential part of the sound of the group”.
Musically, the 7 tracks span the Atlantic from the African continent to Brazil, the Caribbean, the USA and London, while sounding completely fresh and singularly captivating.
