Philadelphia trumpet player and composer Matt Cappy drops his debut album in the form of ‘Church And State’ and from the off he lays down his intent with the funky ‘East Philly’ – a real lookback to late 70s fusion – and continues with the fast paced dancer ‘Phoenix’ with a frantic beat and some sparkling keys dropping in and out. ‘Rose Lane’ is another bustling number with an afro-funk feel with Cappy battling a bolshy sax for the spotlight, ‘Eight Five Six’ is a laid back mid tempo that builds nicely, ‘Sacramento’ is a lush, warm West Coast groove while ‘The Last One’ is a delicate, looser arrangement that closes out a pleasing set.
