'It’s Always About Liberation’ Album Launch

A home-town album launch by Ancient Infinity Orchestra, the Leeds jazz ensemble led by Ozzy Moysey, featuring music from its third album and from earlier Gondwana Records releases at The Attic.

Ancient Infinity Orchestra is a large jazz ensemble from Leeds, led by double bassist and composer Ozzy Moysey. Its sound layers strings, reeds, harp, piano and percussion with improvisation, groove and collective playing. The new album, It's Always About Liberation, is a darker and more searching companion to the group's 2025 record It's Always About Love. Its material takes inspiration from words spoken by Moor Mother at We Out Here Festival, and explores struggle, perseverance, and the wish for freedom, connection and joy.

The album includes "Akshay", which pairs a playful mbira loop with bouncing percussion as a tribute to a young life lost too soon. "Celebrating the Beautiful Lineage of Sound & Hypnotic States" builds from hypnotic rhythms into an eight-minute ensemble piece, while "Illuminations" moves between hazy, relaxed passages and freer, more expansive playing. The evening also draws on material from the group's previous releases on Gondwana Records.

The Attic is a Leeds venue that hosts concerts and shows. This launch is a home-town event for the local ensemble and its audience, and it will be filmed and recorded.
