Jon Hassell meets Ornette Coleman, meets Sun Ra. I Hold the Lion’s Paw sounds familiar and, at the same time, like nothing else you’ve ever heard.
The brainchild of ARIA nominated trumpeter-composer-electronic artist Reuben Lewis, Lion’s Paw will guide you into an immersive world of electro-acoustic ambience, grungy afro-beat grooves and psychedelic free jazz. This is music as assemblage, using the stage as a laboratory whilst practicing post-production sorcery in realtime!
“a beguiling stew of afro-beat, jazz-rock-inflected postbop, and electro-acoustic noise.”
— The Wire
“More likely was the feeling of having stumbled into someone else’s LSD trip”
