1 Giant Leap
Palm
After meeting at a mutual friend's Brighton, England flat and exchanging philosophies and artistic influences, musicians Jamie Catto and Duncan Bridgeman decided to embark on a six-month cross-cultural musical journey to explore the theme of human unity through diversity. Their travels took them from the jungles of Ghana to the mountains of Nepal to the streets of New York. The duo's work is recorded on the ambitious 1 Giant Leap DVD/LP, a 12-chapter musical documentary featuring unknown musicians from all over the world as well as notables like Brian Eno, Michael Stipe, Neneh Cherry, and Arrested Development's Speech. Cherry and Speech both appear on the featured "Braided Hair."
Catto is also the leader of the English house-pop ensemble Faithless. Bridgeman, a longtime in-demand session musician and producer, has most recently been performing with the chamber pop group Cinerama.
