Marine Moods – Nick Walters

Marine Moods is an album by trumpeter and composer Nick Walters, released under his D.O.T. Records label, exploring the possibilities of contemporary jazz-fusion through a narrative inspired by marine ecosystems.

The album brings together the sextet composed of Rebecca Nash (piano), Tenderlonious (flute and soprano sax), Nim Sadot (bass), Laurie Lowe (drums), and Kudjovi Kush (percussion). This lineup allows for a rhythmic expansion that flows seamlessly between spiritual jazz, modalism, and afro-jazz.

The compositions are structured as frameworks for creative freedom, prioritizing collective interaction and the development of textures that oscillate between the hypnotic groove of the depths and the melodic clarity of surface currents. The result is a sonic document of high technical cohesion and narrative expressiveness.
