Chip Wickham’s third album sees the flautist in Spiritual Jazz territory. The first two (‘La Sombra’ and ‘Shamal Wind’) are must buys and ‘Blue To Red’ is no less impressive from the three tracks available for listening. The music is accessible, inventive and memorable. Wickham’s playing is superb and beguiling. The album opens with a mystical experience in ‘Blue to Red’ that incorporates influences from around the globe and there is something of Alice Coltrane’s harp led spiritual excursions to the feel. The album slips into a bass led groove on the sublime ‘Route One’. The groove has an urgency and potent drive. There is a wicked bass line to ‘Double Cross’ that gives it a funky vibe.
