(Contemporary Jazz / Soft Free-jazz) Austin Peralta - Endless Planets - 2011, FLAC (tracks) lossless

"Austin Peralta (son of groundbreaking skater, Stacy) makes his recorded debut outside of Japan on a fiercely confident Brainfeeder release. It's a marked step away from anything Fly Lo's label have previously offered, entering the contemporary jazz arena with Peralta commanding an ensemble including The Cinematic Orchestra and Strangeloop on electronic manipulation, Zane Musa on alto saxophone, Ben Wendel on tenor and soprano saxophone, vocals from Heidi Vogel and percussion from Zach Harmon. Like we say, he's already released two albums for the Japanese label Eighty-Eight's (four years ago, when he was only 16!), but this is a bold introduction to a whole other world, one inhabited by Daedelus, The Gaslamp Killer and Lorn among others and should be considered a brave but assuredly sophisticated purchase by its followers."
