BySurfer Chick October 19, 2022

London-based pianist and multidisciplinary artist Duval Timothy has announced a new album. It’s called Meeting With a Judas Tree and it’s due out November 11 via Carrying Colour. He has shared the song “Mutate” today, which you can listen to below.

Meeting With a Judas Tree follows Timothy’s 2020 solo album Help. It spans six tracks, including “Mutate,” and features guests Yu Su, Fauzia, and Lamin Fofana. Timothy recorded Meeting With a Judas Tree on different pianos, including “an upright in Freetown that had lost the felt of its hammers due to the humidity creating a harpsichord-like sound as the raw wood struck the strings.”

Timothy’s most recent record, the collaborative album Son with Rosie Lowe, came out last year; since then he has prominently featured as a composer and producer on tracks from Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. It’s one of several albums that are playing a part in ambient jazz’s quiet return.
