Description
Owerset started as a commission Sarah-Jane Summers wrote for Celtic Connections 2018. It blends Scottish and Nordic traditions with the playfulness of jazz and the sonic explorations of contemporary music.
There’s something for everyone, from full-on ceilidh (Blether), virtuosic electric guitar (Flit) and rip-roaring trumpet (Fitakaleerie), to evocative airs and open, ECM-esque soundscapes.
