Massively assured debut from youthful London modern jazz combo Portico Quartet. Even aside from their use of the hang (a melodic percussion instrument resembling a barbecue but sounding like a steel drum), this album showcases a singular and talented outfit, pivoting on a beautifully lithe rhythm section and foregrounding Jack Wyllie’s fluent saxophone to meditative and mesmerising effect.
