Search - Sleep Walker :: Into the Sun

2009 French compilation from the jazzy Japanese combo containing tracks from their Japanese releases plus two exclusive cuts: 'Brother Hood' and 'Resurrection' (Tokyo Night Mix). Sleep Walker were one of the first of their scene to move into classic Jazz territory -- getting past the beats and programs of other contemporary combos, and moving into straight acoustic modes that are filled with spirit and soul. There's a very righteous vibe to their music -- one that's informed by the best post-Coltrane modes of the Impulse Records generation, particularly Pharoah Sanders, who plays with the group on one track here, lending his horn to the group's own searing tenor sax, keyboards, bass, and drums.
