Black Sand (Vinyl LP)

Pōneke’s busiest man Cory Champion returns with Black Sand, now getting a much-deserved second pressing this October. Recorded with an all-star band featuring Johnny Lawrence, James Illingworth, Daniel Hayles, Louisa Williamson, and Mike Isaacs, and with Ben Lemi and Mike Fabulous behind the desk, this Clear Path Ensemble album is a lush trip through cosmic jazz, deep grooves, and late-night moods. Don’t miss your chance to grab a copy this time around. - Flying Out
