The Gift Economy, by Never Enough Hope

The Gift Economy

by Never Enough Hope

supported by

Olga Kivius I couldn't past by their 1st album. It seems to be more wild and free-jazz oriented and the attention to horn section is more obvious - it's impossible to miss the solo of bass-saxophone at all, for instance.
But it remains very musical: you can find here the influences of rock, minimalism, it is full of variety of rhythms, powerful energy; the dynamics of the development of music lines is amazing. The feeling of constant movement that suddenly gets other directions also remains without changes Favorite track: Grant Park.

The Gravity of Our Commitment
by Never Enough Hope

supported by 5 fans who also own “The Gift Economy”

The endless journey in the imaginary world. An expected end after culmination is replaced by another scenery: danger and evil get closer and closer and then the picture flows into a sparkling fairy forest with butterflies, butterflies disappear and everything begins anew. Very emotional and various music, that develops the imagination and is performed by high-class musicians. This is the 2nd release of this experimental, a bit free-jazz big-band after 7 years of silence. They made my day! )) Olga Kivius

So happy to see a new album from this band. I've long been a fan of Mazurek and Parker's work in Tortoise, on top of the CUQ... Anyhow, if you're curious about contemporary jazz, this is a terrific place to start. Hobie Anthony
