The six-piece group, led by bandleader Jake Long, bring a fresh slant to the weighty spiritual jazz tradition. Spiritual jazz is a tradition that's leaden with its own traditions, histories and stories. Maisha carve out out their own style through that weight of expectation: they take stock of that history, channelling the greats like Pharoah Sanders, while filtering their own influences - which range from jazz to Afrobeat - through every part of their musical process. It's a sound which rests on trance-inducing rhythms, instinctive musical interchange and repeated, deeply enriching melodic refrains. It's a combination which has made for their own singular sound. Each of its tracks provokes a feeling of intense revery which is timeless, on the one hand, but realised through a confluence of sounds and circumstances which are undeniably of the present.
