Perfect Stranger: Unfinished Business
by Neil Duggan
There cannot be too many artists who release music 50 years after composing it. In 1974, Chris Sansom wrote six tracks, the highlight being a four-movement piece, echoing the structure of a classical symphony but taking influences from the progressive rock of the time to create something outside conventional jazz. He formed a band to play ...
Superlocrian: Hills & Valleys

Rather remarkably, the only change to the lineup since then is the replacement of alto and soprano saxophonist Matthew Herd by Tommy Andrews. Green's specialism appears to be big bands. His ...
Brass Funkeys: Rabble Rouser
by Bruce Lindsay
The 8-piece Brass Funkeys might draw on the traditions of New Orleans marching bands, but the group, which formed in 2011, is based in London and takes much of its inspiration from contemporary musics. This combination of second line, R&B, hip-hop and the rest is enticing: Rabble Rouser is a fine collection of originals and covers ...
