Stephen Davis: Leaving It All Out There

Read "Stephen Davis: Leaving It All Out There" reviewed by Ian Patterson


"How come I haven't heard of you before?" a surprised Anthony Braxton asked Northern Irish drummer/percussionist Stephen Davis. The venerable American saxophonist and composer was bowled over after playing with Davis for the first time. Most musicians are. It is no secret in Ireland, or indeed Europe at large, that Belfast-born Davis is ...

Laura Jurd: The Big Friendly Album

Read "The Big Friendly Album" reviewed by Chris May


The Big Friendly Album is what it is called and that is exactly what it is. London-based trumpeter/cornetist and composer Laura Jurd's fourth album under her own name is a big hearted, gorgeously lyrical, feel-good romp, which does not preclude cerebral engagement but which wears its complexities so lightly that one barely notices them.

That's as true of recordings as it is in person, and amply demonstrated on Step Wide, Step Deep, where the moods range from lazy Sunday afternoon to ...

Alexander Hawkins Ensemble: Step Wide, Step Deep

Read "Step Wide, Step Deep" reviewed by Karl Ackermann


As he did on his fine solo piano release Song Singular (Babel, 2014), Alexander Hawkins takes his newly formed ensemble on a path that blurs the perceptions of composition and free improvisation. Step Wide, Step Deep floats free of implications and becomes its own entity. The ensemble establishes a rich and unique setting, sometimes disquieting, sometimes ...

Babel Label: More Songs from the Tower of Sound

Read "Babel Label: More Songs from the Tower of Sound" reviewed by Jakob Baekgaard


In a time of financial crisis in the world in general and in the music business in particular, the natural thing to do would be to cut down the number of releases and concentrate on safe and palatable productions that cater to a major audience with a predefined taste. However, Oliver Weindling's Babel Label has always ...

Alexander Hawkins: Retaining The Sense of Discovery

Read "Alexander Hawkins: Retaining The Sense of Discovery" reviewed by John Sharpe


One of the fastest-rising stars of the UK jazz scene, pianist Alexander Hawkins is remarkable in that he shines equally in both the further reaches of free improvisation and the creation of ingeniously crafted charts. Indeed, Hawkins' particular talent might be in bringing the two so close that it's hard to distinguish between them. At times ...
