The artist has teamed up with Canadian bassist Antoine Fafard for the second time. The duo will release its second album, titled “Perpetual Mutations”, on July 26.
Apart from the leaders, the album features soprano saxophonist Jean-Pierre Zanella, cellists Joasia Cieślak and Isodora Filipovic, violinist Ally Storch and Dale Devoe on brass instruments.
Harrison and Fafard say: “As it was in the first effort, all the music on this album is entirely performed and excludes any programmed instruments. The joint instrumental musical effort was put together with the clear intention of not repeating the exact same sonic textures featured in the first album and keep looking for different and original musical possibilities. For instance, ‘Perpetual Mutations’ introduces classical guitar and piano, instruments absent in the 2020 album.”
Gavin Harrison is endorsed by the following brands: Zildjian, Sonor, Remo, Vic Firth, Gibraltar, Hardcase, AKG, and is laso known to use Tama Speedcobra pedals.
