Theo Travis, the renowned British saxophonist, flautist, and composer, joins forces with the legendary Robert Fripp for an enchanting journey through soundscapes that blend jazz fusion and ambient textures. Released on Discipline Global Mobile, "Follow" is a captivating album that showcases the virtuosity and improvisational skills of both artists. Recorded over a span of two years, from July 1979 to July 1981, at the serene All Saints Church in Falmouth, the album captures the essence of their collaborative spirit and musical synergy.
