Enemy Live at BIMHUIS Amsterdam
by BIMHUIS
Fiercely intense and beautifully intricate, Enemy spotlights three brilliant musical minds: bassist Frans Petter Eldh, pianist Kit Downes and drummer James Maddren.

Live From Cologne: Bastian Stein, Eivind Aarset & Danish Vibes
by Martin Longley
The Bastian Stein Trio The Loft November 5, 2018 The Loft is indeed right at the top of its reasonably tall building, having many stairs to climb, but with jazz salvation found, once this effort is made. Improvisation and moderne composed music are also presented, plus there's a recording studio ...
Ivo Neame: Moksha
by Geno Thackara
A solo album is generally a defining statement of identity, especially for musicians who juggle multiple outlets, but Ivo Neame has such a hard time sitting still that even he must have a hard time pinning down his sound for very long. His piano makes a key voice (pun unintended) in the Escape Hatch quartet and ...

by Ian Patterson
Trish Clowes Mermaid Arts Centre Bray, Ireland February 9, 2018 Almost five years had passed since saxophonist/composer Trish Clowes' only previous gig in Ireland, at the Derry Jazz and Big Band Festival 2013.

Trish Clowes: My Iris
by Phil Barnes
There's an energy and a focus about this, Clowes fourth album for UK indie Basho records, that suggests a creative breakthrough. My Iris has kept that restlessness and love of music irrespective of genre apparent in Clowes earlier work, but feels a better constructed programme where the stylistic shifts are organic developments that blend naturally into ...

There are no shirkers or hang back components in this line up. My Iris ...
Hannes Riepler: Wild Life
by Bruce Lindsay
Austrian-born guitarist and composer Hannes Riepler moved to the UK a decade ago, releasing debut album The Brave (Jellymould Jazz) in 2012. Wild Life is his second album: with a new and slightly stripped-down line-up (no keyboards this time around) it's an equally impressive outing.Most of the tunes are Riepler's originals--there's also experienced saxophonist ...
Trish Clowes: Pocket Compass
by Bruce Lindsay
On her debut album, Tangent (Basho Records, 2010), saxophonist Trish Clowes gathered together a large group of musicians and included a full orchestra on two tracks. For her impressive second album, And In The Night-time She Is There (Basho Records, 2012), she streamlined the line-up, adding just half a dozen guests to the core quintet but ...
Michael J McEvoy: The Long Way Home
by Bruce Lindsay
Michael J McEvoy is something of a musical chameleon--a composer, instrumentalist and producer who's played a crucial role in many musical projects without grabbing the limelight. He's composed film soundtracks (including 2008's Me And Orson Welles), and worked as musician or producer with an extensive array of artists including Ian Dury, Sting, Scritti Politti, the Bee ...
Michael J Mc Evoy's "The Long Way Home" Available March 10th
This has got instant appeal. And it’s over far too soon. With a melodic 1970s vibe to start with on the title track opener and Gerard Presencer’s bluesy horn commentary over a strong rhythm section of pianist McEvoy joined by Empirical bassist Tom Farmer and the Golden trio’s James Maddren this is the former musical director ...
