Product Description After the success of the critically acclaimed album 'Flint', Grammy Award winning pianist and original Snarky Puppy member, Bill Laurance releases his follow up album 'Swift' on GroundUp records. Expanding from the last album, 'Swift' continues where 'Flint' left off. Working with a larger ensemble and developing more epic soundscapes, Laurance delves deeper into the multi-genre soundscape of his compositions. Proudly featuring Snarky Puppy's Michael League (bass, synth and guitars) and Robert 'Sput' Searight (drums and percussion) and Orchestra, the album demonstrates how deep groove and classical sensibility can sit happily side by side. "With 'Flint' I became interested in breaking down the barriers between genres. 'Swift' is a continuation of that exploration. I wanted to broaden the genre spectrum even further." 'Flint' was released on GroundUp records in May 2014 and went straight to No.1 in the iTunes Jazz Charts. The Bill Laurance project then toured to sell-out crowds across the UK and Europe.
