When the stirring musical passions of piano virtuoso Robert Mitchell, celebrated double bassist Neil Charles, and drum wizard Mark Sanders came together as a trio in 2022, “The Flame” was born, altering sound forever.  Now, 577 Records is thrilled to inject your reality with the group’s second album!  Towards the Flame, Vol. 2 features 40 minutes of captivating avant-garde, experimental music in three tracks (“A Son Of Windrush Reflects - All Across the Sprit Prism”, “Spark Of The Catalyst”, and “Be Kind”).

Much like their first album, Vol. 2 is yet another sparkling contribution to the rich vibe that is British improvised music.  This outstanding interplay among trio members brings together the perfect balance of adventurous improvisation, abstract rhythms, and dreamy melodies that linger oh so pleasantly in your mind.  Robert Mitchell opens the album with a dedication to the woman who gave him life.  He tenderly recites his beautifully written poem about the selfless sacrifice of a mother so devoted to helping others.



“This is the second half of The Flame’s debut show at Café Oto in Feb 2022,” explains Professor Robert Mitchell.  “It also features my poem ‘A Son Of Windrush Reflects’ in tribute to my mother and all of the nurses who served in the UK’s National Health Service from 1948 onwards - and the ongoing Windrush Scandal (5 years and counting).

A massive thank you to Polly Barnes, Federico Ughi and all who work tirelessly at 577 to bring so much amazing music into the world! In serving peace and cultivating continued vital foundations for our creative future they are vital in this ever changing and fractious environment.”

Towards the Flame, Vol. 2 drops on July 19th, available digitally and on limited edition vinyl and CDs.


An Offering.

We sit in a semicircle,
Knowing what we know,
Open to the flow:
The universal food for our growth. 

Hickory, oak, maple stick splint,
By product of an ecstatic glint, 
Elemental transmission - near mint,
Reminders of our miniscularity - as syncopated hint.

Rosin firmly enticed onto bow,
Overtones entranced to reveal their soul,
Pizz decay with an infinite goal,
Body percussion magic upon one from the luthier’s mould.

Revealing node upon overstrung ingenuity,
Unique fingerprint distributes weight upon key perspicacity,
Momentum’s gain and loss as air score read transparently,
88 tuned hearts, in potential synchronicity.

This offering is a threatened occurrence,
 Our natural state’s survival depends on all our endurance, 
The storyteller gene needs our promise, our insurance,
Or the right to heal ourselves will be ‘educated’ out of our very existence. 

(c) R.Mitchell 2024

German Jazz Award 2018 for the Album Flying Carpet together with Quadro Nuevo
Building Bridges between cultures and to send an indirect message to the audience, creating an positive image about the Egyptian Culture Heritage was the reason why Basem Darwisch founded the German/Egyptian Band Cairo Steps in 2003 .
Cairo Steps merges and combines traditional Egyptian and oriental grooves with modern jazz and classics , using vocal inserts with old Arabic poems . it is a mix between improvisation, classical music and contemporary sounds. The music is influenced by spiritual ethnic music as well as European music traditions and alternates between strong unison rhythms, virtuoso solos and meditative soundscapes. The result is a unique music style and an exciting blend of various cultures
Basem could manage to make Cairo Steps plays the role of the umbrella that has all of the different musical genres and experiences merged together all the way from spiritual chants to modern classics with their own flavor and to pursues the vision of crossing cultural, political and religious borders and building bridges between the occident and the orient. Basem Darwisch’s Vision is to present the audience with a tense spiritual musical experience as language that can help them transcend over their earthly matters and to use the concert to create an atmosphere of tolerance and acceptance of other and different cultures advocating the motto “Music is the bonding force” 
His Vision is also to leave an positive impression about the Egyptian culture heritage through short speeches , visuals and introductions during Cairo Steps concerts in Europe in very well known opera houses and theaters e.g. : Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Philharmonie Berlin, Alte Oper Frankfurt, Prinzregententheater München, Theaterhaus Stuttgart  , Kuwait , Abou Dhabi and Cairo Opera House etc.
