(r)evolution
Almost four years since their previous award-winning album Animation (2020 MAMA Jazz Album of the Year), acclaimed funk-fusion band Wurk is thrilled to announce their newest full-length album. Engineered by the talent at Paradyme Productions over the course of several years and a pandemic, (r)evolution is what Wurk calls a record of "our evolution", reflecting changes in their personnel, performance, and vision over that span of time.
