Work Money Death

Country: United Kingdom

Work Money Death is a spiritual jazz ensemble from Leeds, built around saxophonist and flautist Tony Burkill and bassist and producer Neil Innes, with members drawn from The Sorcerers, The Lewis Express and Nat Birchall's band. The group records long, partly improvised pieces that look back to Pharoah Sanders and Alice Coltrane, and it releases its music on ATA Records. Work Money Death first backed Burkill on his 2017 debut LP for ATA.
