“Enjoy Foat's rhythmic mastery, jazz-infused mood, and cosmic synths, accompanied by Finland's finest, including the legendary saxophonist Eero Koivistoinen.”

Greg Foat travels to Finland, teaming up once again with the Jazzaggression label to unveil "Feathers." Building on the success of "Gone to the Cats," the collaborative trio date with Aleksi Heinola and Teemu Åkerblom, "Feathers" follows a similar formula while expanding its musical horizons. "Feathers" introduces an even larger cast of Finnish musicians, including the notable inclusion of Finnish saxophone legend Eero Koivistoinen on tenor sax and the talented Ilmari Heikinheimo on percussion. Recorded over a stormy long weekend in mid-October 2022 at Jazzaggression's in-house Studio Pelto, the album strikes a balance between precomposed tracks and spontaneously created pieces.

Devotees of Greg's earlier releases are in for a treat, as "Feathers" skillfully merges his signature atmospheric touch with an expanded synthesis of sounds. Imagine the legendary Eero Koivistoinen infusing his prowess into the monumental jam "Riding the Breeze," while tracks like "Feathers" and the contemplative "A Prayer for Love" showcase a downtempo elegance that lingers in the air.

Yet, "Feathers" doesn't stop there—it delivers captivating jazz classics as well. Experience "The Sandpiper," a bluesy minor jam reminiscent of the golden era of CTI Albums, or delve into the engaging rhythms of "Inconsequential Narrative" and the thematic intrigue of "As the Crow Flies." A particularly enchanting aura envelops "When All Is Said and Done." Its ephemeral minimalistic essence captures a spontaneous late-night allure, compelling the engineer to "Keep the tape rolling..."—the kind of magic that can only be conjured in the moment.

With "Feathers," Greg Foat brings his animalistic trilogy of albums on Jazzaggression to a triumphant close, possibly delivering his most exceptional recording yet.

Album comes limited to 1000 copies, sealed with hype sticker and hold a coloured insert with photos documenting the recording, with info and digital download of album.

The vibrant new titles "Treizeta", "The Third Era" & "Vollenweider" off the freshly released 3rd Studio Album "Yes It's Ananias III: The Commencement of The Third Era" in 2022 have glimpsed couple of sparks of the upcoming new age and sound of YIA... In December 2021, Yes It's Ananias has released a surprise Solo Rhodes Single which is part of the third Saga. "Hot Snowflake Pt. I (Ice-O-Lation)" tells a story of an Utopia in our modern world. Although, the peculiar year of a post-millenium pandemic lead to a one-off performance in september 2020 when the 70's look inspired Swiss Pianist/Improvisationist went on stage for 6:29 min time. He conserved the moment and released his only digital output within 5 years since his well-approven second studio record "Yes It's Ananias II".

It's called "To Venus And Back" and was played on a Electric Piano in the oldest cinema in the country. Nicolas Streichenberg (His real Citizen Name) reveals the inside and puts it to the outer sphere. He toured heavely in the past couple years in search of finding his own signiture in the soundscape and playing by recording live-concerts on tour and release the limited Vinyl-Copies to the audience, re-listening to it and excerp the imprompti from all sections.

In 2018/2019/2021 he was playing/visiting in Sweden, Italy, Spain, France, Denmark, Switzerland and Germany the most honest way: Solo Piano. While gathering an increasing fanbase around Switzerland and Eastern France, he held up the first official PIANO DAY in Zurich. Swiss Radio/Television SRF Kultur portrayed him and his work during their Winter-Campaign #SRFZämeStah. A platform of selected Artists/Actors/Musicians in Switzerland. In the end of 2021 YIA got featured on the swedish shoebrand "Everyday Hero" in their artist/music section "Listen Up". A space for rocknroll spirits and fashionistas who are empowered by the musical taste of the shoedesigner. The filmwork for "Vollenweider" got premiered on their webpage of selective artists worldwide. It took only 6 days until one of most prestigeous Venues in Switzerland "Atlantis", who has been a base for the 60's/70's Rockscene in Basel and today's renowned Jazz/Contemporary Music Temple, was sold out. There are rumours for a new fourth era in 2023
