Glaswegian contemporary jazz outfit Nimbus Sextet share new tracks and unreleased remixes on digital EP ‘Helix’ Following the succes of their debut album ‘Dreams Fulfilled’, Nimbus sextet are back with two new tracks ‘Helix’ and ‘Lowrider’ and two new remixes of album favourites ‘Deep Dark Blue Lights’ and ‘Trap Door’. The EP’s brand new composition comes in the form of the eleven-minute episodic jazz tune ‘Helix’. It starts with a gospel tinged jazz-funk groove and moves to a pensive neo-soul sequence before navigating Eastern-European/Klezmer influences, early seventies fusion and an array of other influences. The E.P. also includes a funkier more upbeat version of modern jazz-funk classic ‘Lowrider’ by Yussef Kamaal - with Nimbus Sextet's infectious rendition being playlisted by Jazz FM for several weeks - while remixes of celebrated tracks from first album 'Dreams Fulfilled' come courtesy of Chris Read (Deep Dark Blue Lights) and Born74 (Trap Door). True to form, Nimbus are not afraid to fuse many influences into a recording. As a live prospect, Nimbus are one of the most exciting bands in the UK right now. . "The core idea for Helix was to bring together the three interlocking parts in an exciting and effective way to create an episodic jazz tune that draws on many different contemporary styles.” – Joe Nichols, Nimbus Sextet
