Jonny Mansfield
Quartet! Live at Pizza Express
This is a band with an impressive collective rapport and a shared sense of adventure, resulting in some exhilarating collective improvising laced with dazzling individual solos.
The album draws several strands of Mulelid’s musical personality together and despite the diversity of the individual tracks the album still coheres superbly as a whole
Hicks’ writing exhibits an impressive ambition and maturity and he also impresses as a fluent and imaginative piano soloist. It all makes for a very classy package.
The music is rich, colourful and varied and the leader is well served by an excellent cast of instrumentalists, who all make substantial contributions to the success of the project.
This may be a showcase for the emerging vocal talent that is Emily Masser but it’s also a great band recording with all the members of the quintet contributing hugely to the success of the album.
