INoURyder Please come and play at our Spoleto festival in Charleston, SC.

Teedubyabee An incredibly beautiful album, like Vangelis at his most melancholic jamming with the tightest cinematic jazz outfit. Feels like a spiritual cleansing of sorts and is without a doubt one of my favourite LPs of 2023. Favorite track: London Nights.

mcdan77 Lovely. This is the third Greg Foat record I've listened to properly, and this collaboration with Gigi Masin is up there with the best.

actually the first time I listened to this in full I was sitting on my local beach on a warm night drinking beer and looking at some very bright and twinkly stars ✨ Favorite track: London Nights.

forevernorf Greg Foat & Gigi Masin just like MJ and Scottie Pippen Favorite track: Love Theme.

about

Strut presents an exclusive new collaboration between UK jazz keyboardist Greg Foat and Venetian ambient / electronic maestro Gigi Masin on ‘Dolphin’.

Recorded remotely during 2021-2022 the album took shape in the form of mutual compositions, gradually developed and embellished online. Final recording sessions took place at the majestic Chale Abbey Studios on the Isle Of Wight with Moses Boyd (drums), Tom Herbert (bass) and Siobhan Cosgrove (flute, clarinet) adding elements to several pieces. Tracks include the reflective, wistful single ‘Viento Calido’ and drifting ambient piece ‘Sabena’, a beautiful tribute to Gigi’s wife who sadly passed away during 2022.

Greg Foat has recorded prolifically in recent years for Athens Of The North, Jazzman and Strut including acclaimed albums Symphonie Pacifique (2020) and The Mage (2019). Best known for his 1986 ambient masterpiece Wind and as a member of Gaussian Curve, Gigi Masin has enjoyed a revival in recent years through his Calypso album on R&S’s Apollo label and renewed touring. Dolphin represents Greg and Gigi’s first landmark recording collaboration together. “I first heard Gigi’s album Wind in 2016,” remembers Greg. “I was living in Miami and I heard it playing one Summer evening. Since then, it has always been in my mind to be able to record together.”

Dolphin is mastered by Mark Ashfield at Cosmic Audio with newly commissioned artwork by Niul Foat. The LP comes as transparent vinyl in a thick card outer sleeve.
