The Nimble Nuovication Of Nimbus Sextet

Read "The Nimble Nuovication Of Nimbus Sextet" reviewed by Fiona Ord-Shrimpton


Scottish jazz, like the country's favoured spirit, whisky, is distinctive, carefully crafted, slowly matured and justifiably rare, and it delivers a sense of respect, modernity and personality concurrent with, yet unique from, jazz's ancestral home.

Pete Malinverni: Heaven

Read "Heaven" reviewed by Fiona Ord-Shrimpton


Perhaps church would be fashionable again amongst lapsed Christians if every church had musicians at the spec of Pete Malinverni.
