Will It Float? unites a formidable quartet of improvisers—John Russell, Steve Beresford, John Edwards, and Ståle Liavik Solberg—for a striking exploration of modern jazz soundscapes. Captured in the atmospheric setting of St Mary's Old Church, Stoke Newington in 2013, the album presents just under forty minutes of dynamic interplay where guitar, double bass, percussion, and electronics converge in exhilarating, unpredictable forms.
This session stands out for its inventive use of objects and electronics, courtesy of Beresford, rooting the music firmly in the twenty-first century while honoring the classic ethos of group improvisation. Each member contributes equally to a balanced, evolving sound palette, with Solberg’s relentless rhythmic drive and Russell’s curious textures guiding listeners through mysterious, meticulously layered sonic territory.
