Warmer Than Blood is the new venture from critically acclaimed compose and guitarist Chris Montague . It brings together pianist and ECM recording artist Kit Downes and renowned electric bassist Ruth Goller for a groundbreaking exploration of Chris’ compositions. While Chris’s reputation as a startlingly original composer is already well established, not least through his longstanding collaboration with Downes in the much lauded Troyka project, this release marks the first in Chris’ extensive discography to be entirely under his leadership, and his choice of an unusual line-up was both fortuitous and deliberate.
