Saxophonist Mark Lockheart’s recent album, Days On Earth, is his deeply personal musical statement, both as a musician and a human being. Reflecting on the world, the natural environment and where we go from here, it is an epic tale, told through the multi colours and textures of jazz sextet blended with the lushness of a 30-piece string orchestra. It takes on an extra resonance in the context of the past six months, and the challenges which humanity and the planet have faced. It’s the featured album on Vespertine this Saturday.
