Conjuring the spirit and twisted funk of Miles Davis’ On the Corner, filtered through the lens of Ornette Coleman’s Prime Time and Jon Hassell’s Fourth World, I Hold the Lion’s Paw is a wild sonic ride that feels simultaneously familiar and like nothing you’ve ever heard. The brainchild of trumpeter-producer Reuben Lewis, Lion’s Paw will guide you through an immersive world of electro-ambience, grungy afro-grooves and psychedelic jazz. This is music as assemblage, using the stage as a laboratory whilst practicing post-production sorcery in realtime! “More likely was the feeling of having stumbled into someone else’s LSD trip” – John Shand, The Sydney Morning Herald “Is this exactly where jazz needed to have ended up?” - John Hardaker, Words About Music “Danceable, infectious, and the inevitable deconstructions are subtle - ★★★★” – Eric Myers, The Australian “A beguiling stew of afro-beat, jazz-rock-inflected postbop, and electro-acoustic noise” - Andy Hamilton, The Wire
