Chip Wickham - The Eternal Now (Foiled Artwork On Coated Board Sleeve) Vinyl LP

Saxophonist, flautist, and producer Chip Wickham has become a vital force on the global jazz scene. Originally from Brighton, he now divides his time between the UK, Spain, and the Middle East, building a reputation through a series of acclaimed solo albums that balance the spiritual swing of Roland Kirk, Yusef Lateef, and Sahib Shihab with the legacy of British greats like Tubby Hayes and Harold McNair, as well as contemporary influences such as Jazzanova, Kyoto Jazz Massive, and Robert Glasper. Wickham’s long-standing relationship with Matthew Halsall’s Gondwana Records dates back to his appearance on Halsall’s 2008 debut Sending My Love, leading to three standout releases on the label: the Cloud 10 LP and the Astral Travelling and Love & Life EPs. Now returning to Gondwana, Wickham presents his elegant fifth studio album, The Eternal Now. Expanding his soulful blend of spiritual jazz and modal hard-bop, the record marks a bold new chapter in his celebrated discography, capturing an artist continuing to evolve with creativity and purpose.
