about

Foshe and Bentley are two separate entities who regularly collaborate in their home city of Sydney. Foshe create fully improvised polyrhythmic-afro-Latin-synth-ambient-jazz-house. The trio have been gigging heavily from 2018, engaging in energetic weekly residencies, and supporting artists from Lonnie Liston Smith to the 30/70 collective, Horatio Luna and ZFEX, GODTET and more.

Mike Bentley is a drummer who collaborates with friends around Sydney/Melbourne, creating deeply groovy, rhythmically hypnotic journeys through jazz, hip hop and house, inspired by the likes of Kamaal Williams & Vijay Iyer. Producing modern jazz-house combined with odd time signatures, Mike was a key driving force behind this set of new, live recordings.

The ‘Parlour Cucina’ album is the result of a live residency at the Sydney venue of the same name. The residency was split between sets with the regular Foshe trio (Mike, Zigi, Tom) and open collaborations with other artists through Bentley.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Here're some further words written about the recordings and Parlour Cucina venue;

“It’s aperitivo hour in Sydney’s secret deco destination. Candle lit, intimate tables sit by the burnished bar to suit the smart casual and effortlessly elegant. The iconic Parlour Cucina set the scene for a 6 month long Friday night residency. Configurations of Foshe and Bentley launched into two sets of pure improvisation, with an open roster of players switching in and out each week. Just enough space to squeeze a trio between tables, laptop balanced precariously on gig bags, a few sessions were recorded. Transport yourself to the bustling crowd of professionals and travellers winding down with a negroni and an antipasto plate, set to the backdrop of scorching polyrhythmic house jams.”

Pure fusion magic. This is easily my album of the year and one of the best albums of the past several years. Truly one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard. I’ll be listening to this for years to come. It’s inspiring to see that even at the age of 80 Pharoah Sanders still has so much passion in his playing. Hopefully this isn’t the last we hear from him.

This reminds me of hanging in dank basements with musicians way better than me and just being in awe of the emotions they could pull out of listeners. Really stunning stuff, I hope it promises a lot more to come. Solvent
