“Life is incomplete without love. Love is the driving force of our life's journey, and life and love are intertwined.” UK jazz maestro Chip Wickham follows last year's amazing soulful album Cloud 10 with a skillfully - crafted, reflective EP of beautiful spiritual jazz. Inspired by Yusef Lateef's soulful sounds, Chip's music draws from a wide range of influences, from hip - hop to Roland Kirk, and from classic funk to the 60s Brit - Jazz of Tubby Hayes. Love & Life highlights his excellent flute playing, offering four tracks of peaceful, inspiring jazz, along with the lively boppish soul jazz track Space Walk. The lead single Love & Life is a joyous jazz waltz with an upbeat groove, while Slow Down Look Around is introspective. It features Chip's signature flute and a great solo from UK trumpeter Malcolm Strachan. Chip says this track teaches us to adapt as the world changes fast, as our human needs for peace and tranquility remain constant. Tracklist: A1. Space Walk; A2. Love & Life; B1. Seven Worlds; B2. Slow Down Look Around.
