Spiritual jazz ensemble Ancient Infinity Orchestra will make their debut at the Howard Assembly Room on Thursday 9 October 2025 launching their second album It’s Always About Love (released on Gondwana Records on Friday 26 September).
This vibrant second album sees Ancient Infinity Orchestra continue with their distinctive line-up: two double basses, harp, saxophones, clarinets, violin, viola, cello, oboe, flutes, mandolin, congas, piano, drum kit, with bells, shakers and other percussion instruments scattered on the floor of live sets and recording sessions, ready for members to use whenever the spirit takes them. This orchestration, and the overlap between membership and friendship, gives Ancient Infinity Orchestra a sound that is at once expansive and intimate, earthy, and cosmic, constantly shifting yet grounded in shared intention. Drinking deep from the well of spiritual jazz and inspired by the soulful sounds of Pharoah Sanders, Alice & John Coltrane and Don Cherry.
Ancient Infinity Orchestra is a joyous large ensemble that has communal music-making at the heart of everything they do. And that includes the melodies that flow out of their new album It’s Always About Love which blossom with uplifting improvised contributions that circle around bandleader Ozzy Moysey’s beautiful compositions; generous sonic gifts of healing and repair.
Presented by Howard Assembly Room.
