The F-ire collective is probably best known for spawning punk-jazz outfit Acoustic Ladyland. Despite sharing a rhythm section with the latter, F-ire guitarist Jonny Phillips?s Oriole is a bird of a very different feather. Their third album Every New Day (FIRE) was largely written in Cadiz, Spain and is full of full-throated melodies that swoop and soar over delicately intense Latin rhythms ? from waltzes and sambas to more recherch? styles such as maracatu ? all given added texture by percussionist Adriano Adewale.
