Backwater Township – Gesalul (Live)
Backwater Township is a five-piece jazz ensemble operating out of Montreal. The name of their new jam translates as "Love" from Mi'gmaq, and the band are both heartfelt and serious about the piece, calling it "an expression of love in its truest form". One could imagine something romantic or starry-eyed after reading this description. But the piece is deeper than that. It can indeed be romantic, but it also expresses passion, longing and, most notably, patience, which is an essensial and often overlooked ingredient of love.
