Alongside CAFOLLA (Piano, Moog Synthesisers and Hammond Organ) and regular collaborator Konrad Wiszniewski (Saxophones), is the striking and inventive soprano voice of Rachel Lightbody, which has become a defining feature of Mama Terra’s original take on spiritual jazz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConrad Roberts appears on two tracks. CAFOLLA, a lifetime fan the poet's contribution to Davis's ‘Live-Evil’ (1971), decided to track down Roberts to recite words written for what became lead track, ‘Inner Space (Narration by Conrad Roberts)’. Not only did Roberts oblige, he was also inspired to contribute words he had initially prepared for Miles, in the event they worked together again, which appear on ‘Bliss (Words \u0026amp; Narration By Conrad Roberts)’, moved by what he felt was a continuity in the works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album also features classical music stars ’The Ayoub Sisters’ as guest string section throughout and New York trumpeter Jeremy Pelt returns to guest on ’The Observers’, alongside an incredible ensemble of players who shape the Mama Terra vision: music for the the eye of the storm, where fear, beauty and stillness coexist. A deep and ambitious 9-track contemporary jazz album.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Black Vinyl","offer_id":57128791900535,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":57128791933303,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/7765\/8998\/files\/int-27171e4fb7ea4be8e0554fd2524a6e55-mjwtxybs.webp?v=1779967676","url":"https:\/\/vinylwhistle.co.uk\/products\/mama-terra-inner-space","provider":"The Vinyl Whistle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
