PRIMARY COLOURS
“An album with a dominating, colourful theme has to hold it together musically from start to finish, which this album does very well.”
- Jazz Journal
'Primary Colours' is a concept album that draws parallels between the art of colour and musical narration. It’s about how base human feelings and life experiences interconnect and interact with each other - ultimately leading to life changes - just like primary colours and shades combine themselves, creating new tones.
Praised as “a sure-fre statement of her confident stature in amongst London's top jazz cats.” (Presto Music),La Sorsa’s new work continues to ride the contemporary/avant-garde jazz wave, further exploring the boundaries of improvisation and sound experimentation and drawing upon modern sounds and grooves, from drum’n’bass to Latin music.
The album features long-time collaborators Sam Leak on Hammond Organ and Jay Davis on drums, with the addition of guitarist Tom Ollendorff and special guest Australian harpist Tara Minton.
'Primary Colours' contains 7 original compositions refecting La Sorsa's musical influences - such as Gretchen Parlato, Bobby McFerrin and Jeff Buckley - and drawing upon her eclectic background and skilful voice, as well as the band’s versatility, to create something fresh, new and unexpected.
'Primary Colours' is now available on all major platforms and on CD.

“This album is not a collection of songs, but a complete, self-contained whole where every detail counts. There are so many interesting arrangements and instrumental ideas, interesting vocals and instrumental parts that it's impossible to mention them all. This is music to be listened to repeatedly and enjoyed.” - Jazz-Fun.De
