Bill Laurance - Aftersun (2016)

Bill Laurance returns with Aftersun, a paean to space exploration and life in the cosmos. The music is filtered down to its roots in a quartet that features fellow bandmates from Snarky Puppy Michael League and Robert Sput Searight, along with legendary New Orleans percussionist Weedie Braihma.

With flavors of Dance music and African percussion at its heart, the album combines deep world grooves with Laurances signature genre-bending exploration.

Bill Laurance was named JazzFMs Breakthrough Artist of 2015.

Imaginative……Powerful writing…testify to the formidible Laurance s rapid evolution… A Jazz Maestro. –The Guardian

Full of emotive and authentic writing that beautifully blends jazz and classical inflections with his own distinctive sound. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the new album and are unlikely to be disappointed. –TimeOut London

Laurances sound is certainly unique, and blends jazz fusion with classical in an exciting and captivating way; anyone will tell you that Bill Laurance is a beautifully sensual, subtle, yet energetic performer, and with Snarky Puppy s own rhythm section in tow, we are really excited. –Impact Nottingham
