Andy Hague Big Band
Live At The Lantern
The playing is excellent throughout and there are some superb individual solos from some of Bristol’s finest musicians. Hague’s original writing is also genuinely impressive.
His writing is intelligent and varied and he is well served by the playing of an exceptional sextet who interpret his ideas with skill and panache.
Combining jazz and rock influences this is a particularly intelligent brand of ‘fusion’ that makes for very rewarding listening. This threesome find a lot to say within the format of the guitar trio.
Relaxed and intimate this is an album that speaks quietly, but eloquently. This is a remarkably well balanced trio.
“Bloom” sees her tackling subjects ranging from the political to the intensely personal and doing so with intelligence and conviction. Her singing is technically accomplished and undeniably beautiful.
