A highly-anticipated release for both jazz enthusiasts and houseplant lovers alike, London-based musician Greg Foat is set to drop his two track single ‘Spider Plant Blues’ both digitally and on vinyl on May 24th. The release, a joint production between Foat and digital music management company Ameritz Music, marks his first vinyl release to date. Inspired by the greenery that adorns his home, ‘Spider Plant Blues’ is a testament to the musician’s unique creative process.
Foat’s ever-changing mood dictates the movement of his precious plants, their presence constantly refreshing the energy in his home studio. This symbiotic relationship between music and nature is mirrored in the intricate synthesizer-led pieces that make up the single. Foat’s supreme talent on the keys is perfectly complemented by the skills of bassist Tom Herbert and drummer Ayo Salawu, creating a mesmerizing blend of instrumental jazz. The result is a laidback yet captivating atmosphere, offering something for both casual listeners and dedicated jazz aficionados. With over two decades of experience in the industry, Foat’s passion for music was ignited at the young age of three after a fateful fall from his aunt’s piano stool.
His love for vinyl collecting soon evolved into formal training and performances with the Isle of Wight County Youth Jazz Orchestra, as well as private lessons with renowned jazz pianist Gordon Beck. As audiences around the world eagerly await the release of ‘Spider Plant Blues’, they can look forward to basking in the same creative energy that has fueled Foat’s unique sound. So whether you’re a fan of jazz, house plants, or both, be sure not to miss out on this highly-anticipated release. ‘Spider Plant Blues’ will be available on all platforms on May 24th.
