Work Money Death’s People Of The Fast Flowing River is a masterclass in modern modal and spiritual jazz, recorded live-to-tape with a hypnotic, slow-burning intensity. Led by saxophonist Tony Burkill and bassist Neil Innes, the Leeds-based ensemble channels the deep 1970s lineage of Pharoah Sanders and Strata-East, weaving warm tenor saxophone lines, shimmering harp, spacey Fender Rhodes, and rich, polyrhythmic percussion. Built on long, expansive grooves that gradually swell toward transcendent, ecstatic climaxes, the album delivers an immersive, ritualistic soundscape that feels both timelessly meditative and deeply soulful.
