'6 Days in Leysin' is a concept album is inspired by the beautiful Swiss Village of Leysin. Written and recorded over 6 days high in the Alps, the album features Moses Boyd on drums, Alex Burke (Forest Law) on guitar and the legendary Swiss bass player Elie Ghersinu. The Quartet effortlessly glides through Spiritual Jazz, Italian Library Funk, Alpine Ambient and New Age Synthesiser sounds. The album is a musical postcard and the compositions commemorate the highlights of 6 wonderful days Greg, his family and friends spent in Leysin.

Greg Foat’s latest, Blue Lotus, is as good an entry point as any. Credited to the Greg Foat Group, his longstanding ensemble with Rob Mach, Trevor Walker, Phil Achille and Eric Young, Blue Lotus also features veteran UK soprano saxophonist Art Themen and the ferocious drummer Morgan Simpson of the shit-hot UK avant-rock band black midi. Foat himself, of course, mans a formidable Wakeman-esque bank of electric piano, vintage synthesizers, ring modulators and space echo units.
