Clark Tracey Quintet
Introducing Emily Masser
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.
"A good organ trio rarely fails to raise a smile, but one like this can leave you feeling good for the rest of the day", says guest contributor, guitarist Jamie Taylor.
I love the way that this group treads the fine line between the written and the improvised, and the spirited manner in which they do it.
Their most mature work to date, a compelling recording rooted in improvisation, but making highly effective use of contemporary audio technology.
All of the arrangements are jointly credited to Warren & Jenkins and they bring something fresh to these traditional melodies, some of them hundreds of years old, while remaining true to their spirit.
