Momentum by Shirantha Beddage
Following the success of his JUNO-nominated album Identity, baritone saxophonist Shirantha Beddage continues to deliver his brand of high-octane modern jazz on the new album, Momentum, featuring Will Kennedy of the Yellowjackets.
For this new album, his third as a leader, his compositions reflect his childhood fascination with the physical sciences, as he explores the tension between oppositional forces in music and the world around us.
The music is drawn from Beddage’s most diverse range of influences thus far, including New Orleans jazz, R&B, film music and folk songs, providing a musical landscape that is accessible, varied and complex.
