Guitarist/composer Greg Sanders wrote to us about his new project, Teotima Ensemble:

“Teotima is a large ensemble featuring a variety of young London jazz musicians. The music is cinematic, a mix of jazz, soul, Latin and African music, with some folk as well. First World  Records have offered to release the finished album, and I’ve set up this Kickstarter page with nine tiers of subscription giving different benefits to spread the word and to raise funds  the album. “
