Psychosynthesis

"Psychosynthesis" is the latest sonic journey from UK jazz maestro Greg Foat, marking his return to solo work after a two-year hiatus. Released on July 15, 2022, via Blue Crystal Records, this double album is a testament to Foat's prowess as a pianist, composer, and producer, offering a rich tapestry of nu jazz and indie jazz sounds. Recorded during the 2020 lockdown, the album is a collection of 14 tracks that span a generous 71 minutes, each one a unique exploration of Foat's signature style.

Foat's synth-driven compositions weave together warm, chilled, and dreamy atmospheres, creating an immersive soundscape that is both intimate and expansive.
