Sam Wilkes: iiyo iiyo iiyo
Briefly

Wilkes, an explorer and chameleon, collaborates with a quintet of virtuoso musicians, distilling his jazz influences into a poignant, innovative sound on iiyo iiyo iiyo.
The sound crafted during the live recording is supernatural and warm, merging Wilkes' experimental edge with a nostalgic homage to '70s jazz traditions.
The first track, 'Descending (Frue),' initiated a conversation through music, showcasing Fishman's Moog riffs in a setting reminiscent of an inviting atmosphere rather than perilous.
The quintet's formation was accidental but serendipitous, merging distinct musicianship that highlights Wilkes' talent for blurring musical boundaries and redefining jazz.
