Continuum 4
Nala Sinephro: Endlessness (digital outlets)

The enormous critical and popular success of last year's Promises collaboration between Pharoah Sanders and Floating Points – although not the best work from either – perhaps prepares the ground for this swooning, ambient-cum-jazz outing by Caribbean-Belgian synth player and harpist Sinephro with an impressive but very contained cast which includes saxophonists Nubya Garcia and James Mollison (the latter from Ezra Collective).

Each of these deliberately restful, warm pieces is a numbered Continuum and at various points the synth, acoustic piano, trumpet, strings or saxophone can be slightly more prominent.

As with that Promises album, you can be left with the feeling you are in familiar musical territory but it's a nice place to be, somewhere between adventurous New Age jazz and atmospheric minimalism.

A name well worth remembering.
