Mike Westbrook: London Bridge Live In Zurich 1990
by Chris May

Since then he has released upwards of fifty albums, spanning jazz rock through jazz and contemporary-classical fusions such as the 2 x CD London Bridge Live ...
Rick Simpson: Everything All Of The Time: Kid A Revisited
by Ian Patterson
It is one thing to cover a rock song, after all, jazz musicians have been doing that since The Beatles, but few have tackled an entire album by a rock band.

Josephine Davies: Way Out East: New Directions In Jazz
by Chris May
Compared to many other bands which have emerged on London's revitalized jazz scene since the mid 2010s, saxophonist and composer Josephine Davies' trio Satori has attracted relatively little noise. This may be because, unlike most of its contemporaries, Satori is not infused with dancefloor-friendly grooves. Davies instead looks to Eastern culture, particularly to Buddhist texts and ...

It's Harrison's third recorded effort in the trio format, and it stands out in a crowded field full of talent. Harrison and the ...
