Revive Music has just premiered Marc Cary’s track “Spices and Mystics”, a drum-n-bass meets jazz journey based on an Indian Raga, “Puriya Dhanashree,” from his upcoming album “Rhodes Ahead Vol. 2”! Click here to check out the feature and listen to the track!
“As per the album’s title, ‘Spices and Mystics’ showcases Cary’s forward-thinking playing with the Fender Rhodes front in center. While the album title might be an homage to the beloved Rhodes, listeners are treated to a wall of sound from the collective septet. The result between Cary, Thomas, Ramamurthy, Budynek, Mateen, and Gully sounds like In A Silent Way sessions era Miles meets Mahavishnu with an added swagger of a modern day back beat.” – Revive Music
