About
Days On Earth epitomises the eclectic mix of influences and genres that have shaped Lockheart's concepts - from the expansive improvising and lush soundscapes of Polar Bear to 70's funk, African Kora type harp melodies and soaring strings.Days on Earth is Mark Lockheart's most ambitious album to date, wrapping 25 years of musical and life influences into a one career-defining album. With a heavyweight band featuring some of the leading figures of British Jazz including Liam Noble, Tom Herbert, Seb Rochford and John Parricelli, and a 30 piece orchestra, Days on Earth combines off-kilter Polar Bear grooves with unique and fascinating orchestral colours, all beautifully performed by a specially assembled crack London orchestra. Days on Earth shines a spotlight on Mark both as an exemplary instrumentalist and as a fine composer, firmly establishing him as one of the most original voices in European Jazz.

In scale and ambition, Days On Earth is tenor saxophonist Mark Lockheart’s magnum opus. It’s an impressive achievement in both concept and execution, the work of a musician who has reached middle-age with his adventurous spirit still intact and is prepared to take musical as well as financial risks to bring his project to fruition.
