An engaging and dynamic mix of compositions from this young protegé of the late Keith Tippett, where the jazz is strongly influenced by the English pastoral tradition. The result is both brand new and nostalgic, conjuring up a strong sense of atmosphere and place.

Odd Unit was originally formed in 2019 by Theo May bringing together jazz and classical students from the Royal College, Royal Academy and Guildhall schools of music in London to perform and record Theo’s original compositions. This first album adds additional musicians to bulk out the sound and bring a new dynamic to the group, and was recorded in late 2022.
