Kit Downes & Chris Montague
Sunday Service
Recorded in Berlin, this bold new project brings together ECM recording artist Kit Downes and pioneering guitarist Chris Montague for a raw, exploratory journey into improvised sound. Known for his fearless inventiveness and deeply expressive playing, Montague brings a distinctive voice to the collaboration—merging extended techniques, textural sensitivity, and a striking sense of form.
Alongside Downes’ masterful command of harmony, space, and timbre, the duo crafts an immersive sound world that blurs the lines between jazz, contemporary classical, and ambient music.
Uncompromising, intuitive, and emotionally resonant, this recording captures two of the UK’s most vital improvisers in an unrepeatable creative moment—alive with tension, curiosity, and shared intent.
