Check out Neil’s latest recorded contribution — Topography, by Rich Pellegrin featuring Neil Welch.
"An escape from the mind-numbing necessities of modern life… A subtle resonance that glows within the music's spaciousness imbues the soundscapes with a spirituality born of the natural world." - All About Jazz (★★★★)
‘Flowing from the galactic avant spirit, ‘Cosmic Moments’ is the second release by Here to Play. Recorded in a single session, Kep, Mines and Welch let the tape roll to create music fit for astral traveling.’
“Combining profound humility with a tectonic technique, Welch approaches the saxophone family as a transmaterial collaboration, an alloy of sound and soul.” -All About Jazz
