The Starpeople – Sama Layuca (McCoy Tyner)

The Starpeople have landed on planet Earth. Sama Layuca by McCoy Tyner is the first piece to kick off this new and young group; The Starpeople. The Starpeople present a musical universe on the edge of free, experimental and modal jazz. Performing the music of giants such as McCoy Tyner and Freddie Hubbard with an original and sparkly twist. Through their art they share the belief that “Everyone is equal, but still and individual”.
