Tom Skinner - Kaleidoscopic Visions
Format : LP
Label : International Anthem
Catalog # : LP-IARC-0104
Genre : Jazz
A mind-expanding journey from one of the UK’s most vital and visionary drummers, Kaleidoscopic Visions sees Tom Skinner (Sons of Kemet, The Smile) diving deep into the outer reaches of jazz, experimental groove, and spiritual improvisation. This record pulses with life—channeling the restless energy of 1970s free jazz, the heady swirl of psychedelic textures, and the sharp-edged urgency of modern London’s jazz underground.
Skinner’s percussive instincts lead the way, but the album is a true ensemble effort: lush horn arrangements, hypnotic basslines, and synth flourishes all shift and evolve like a dream in motion. Whether it's the meditative stretches or the explosive rhythmic breaks, each track offers a new perspective—fitting for a record that lives up to its name.
