clear path ensemble: clear path ensemble

Clear Path Ensemble is the new project and brainchild of Wellington jazz and sonic arts graduate Cory Champion. Having spent many years playing drums alongside some of New Zealand’s most talented musicians in the revered Wellington jam session scene this release is an amalgamation of the energy & spirit that the new Wellington scene encompasses.

Walking over the blurred lines of psychedelia and spiritual jazz and taking cues from planetary rhythms and celestial oddities, Clear Path Ensemble invokes a higher sense of self through the transformative power of sound. In it’s truest essence these are a collection of cosmic compositions and a release that mark the New Zealand neo-jazz scene. Also producing left field house and techno under the name Borrowed CS, Clear Path Ensemble is Cory’s first offering to the jazz gods. Available on vinyl via Cosmic Compositons.
