by Karl Ackermann
London-based drummer Sebastian Rochford (aka, Seb) and pianist Kit Downes have a long working history but have recorded only once as a duo on the EP Live @ The Vortex (Loop Collective, 2012).

Karl Ackermann's Best Creative Music Albums Of 2022
by Karl Ackermann
For good, or bad, the “new normal" can finally be archived, and the club doors reopened to full rooms of unmasked patrons. 2022 marked an informal end to the Pandemic and a rebirth in live performing arts.

Kit Downes: Dreamlife of Debris
by Karl Ackermann
Kit Downes' ECM debut marked a substantial departure from his earlier recordings with saxophonist Tomas Challenger.

With his ECM title Obsidian (2018), Downes, still on organ, worked in a more solidly constructed environment, ...
