"Flea spent Red Hot Chili Peppers' global jaunt of 2022-24 practising the trumpet, producing his own deeply meditative and groovy jazz odyssey with the album Honora."
"Honora brings together a star-studded cast of peers and LA jazz and experimental luminaries for 10 tracks spanning Flea-penned instrumentals, chanted mantras and imaginative reinterpretations."
"The bassist doubles as narrator for spirited track A Plea, a yelled call for sanity amid global madness, and takes his trumpet to Eddie Hazel's famous guitar solo on a beautifully plaintive remodel of Funkadelic's Maggot Brain."
"Honora is never dilettantish; it's sincere, exploratory and soulful, featuring contributions from artists like Thom Yorke and Nick Cave, enhancing its rich musical landscape."
