True North from Spirit Dance by Ambient Jazz Ensemble

True North - was motivated by direction & momentum. With respect to human endeavour it portrays purpose, drive & ambition. It is built around a pulse which drives the repetitive chords forwards, & finally releases into the strings & horns theme with a sense of arrival & discovery.

AJE is all about storytelling, a cinematic journey. Tracks begin from a simple idea, a texture, an ambient soundscape that has room to grow, often blossoming into euphoric suites. At the heart of every track is a jazz ensemble, but the music owes much to electronica or orchestral influences, jazz is merely the palette of sounds & collaborative musicianship that carve the AJE musical landscape.
