Syzygy

Syzygy is the second release from acclaimed trumpet player, composer, and producer Noel Langley. It is a collage of spontaneous, intimate jazz duets, poignant melodic vignettes and ambient cinematic textures featuring ancient ceremonial instruments. This deeply personal, 15-track spiritual-jazz album celebrates 60 years of music making, an arc that began at just four years old when he first played the cornet in his local Salvation Army brass band. Langley has long been at the apex of the UK jazz scene. A renowned lead trumpet player, he was a member of Loose Tubes, founder of the London Jazz Orchestra and musical director for Hermeto Pascoal’s London Big Band. He boasts countless credits as a session musician across film, TV and popular music, collaborating with global superstars including, Adele, Radiohead, Lou Reed and Queens of the Stone Age.
