Jake Mehew - Sage (2022)

Sage is a modern and contemporary turn on what a spiritual jazz record can be. This exceptional debut album, from artist Jake Mehew, set out to capture the raw energy present within performance.

Workshopped and recorded over one week, many of the tracks on this album were captured in the moment; one-take improvised recordings. The intention being to harness an idea at it's inception, rather than at its production.

The unique nature of this recording is apparent not only in it’s content but also in it’s production; a combination of electro-acoustic music, jazz and contemporary classical sounds. This album has a raw, genuine immediacy that perfectly captures the spirit of the recording
