An intimate epic wherein present and past move as one, Colossal Youth (Costa’s English-language title for Juventude em marcha, or Youth on the March) chronicles Ventura, the towering Cape Verdean who has assumed the role of surrogate “father” to an untold number of characters around Lisbon and its now-razed neighbourhood of Fontaínhas. Through Ventura’s ghost-like visitations to figures such as Vanda Duarte (the central personage of Costa’s previous In Vanda’s Room) and repeated recollections of his past life as a newly migrated manual labourer, Costa explores the nature, and necessity, of storytelling in the course of the human adventure.

Composer and saxophonist Geof Bradfield’s music straddles diverse streams of the African Diaspora, drawing on modern jazz, Southern blues and roots, and African rhythms. With Colossal Abundance, his 10th album as a leader, Bradfield unveils his most ambitious work to date. Colossal Abundance is a meditation on the fabulous wealth—material, intellectual and spiritual—and abject poverty that coexist in modern society. Expanding upon his critically acclaimed Yes, and… music for nine improvisers (2017), Bradfield leads a stellar 12-piece ensemble through a program of his own compositions and new interpretations of John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, Henry Threadgill and Jaki Byard.
