Vega Trails
Institute of Contemporary Arts, SW1Y 5AH , [Venue Details]Inspired by the foothills of the Sierra de Guadarrama mountains north-west of Madrid, Milo Fitzpatrick, a founder member of Portico Quartet, presents the debut performance of Sierra Tracks, the new album from his expansive, cinematic, chamber-jazz project Vega Trails.
For tonight’s very special seated concert Milo is joined by saxophonist Jordan Smart, pianist Taz Modi, drummer Dan See and a string quartet.
There’s a cinematic feel to ‘Sierra Tracks’, as each piece unfolds according to its own sweeping narrative, often wonderfully evocative of the mountains’ wide-open spaces, and also sometimes elaborately arranged with cello, orchestral strings, vibraphone and piano, to evoke their awe-inspiring natural splendour.
Through the album there are motifs and melodies that repeat from one tune to another, which can be seen to resemble cyclical thoughts and memories. “So, to me,” Milo Explains, “this music is an exploration of the relationship between the complex, tangled world of one’s mental processes and how moving through the tangible world, especially through nature, can help find definition and clarity.”
