Shez Raja
Tales From The Punjab
Raja has totally absorbed himself in the music and culture of the Punjab and the resultant music is a wholly organic blend of East & West. His most ambitious album to date, and his most convincing.
The quartet has already created a sound that is very much its own, but one that is also capable of emphasising the individual writing styles of its members within the overall group aesthetic.
Richly nuanced music with a distinctive approach to rhythm and melody. It is a sound that should be capable of appealing to a wide fan base,
Naylor has developed a distinctive instrumental and compositional voice of his own and his intelligent writing and playing helps to give this recording much of its character.
The bassist plays superbly throughout, as do his two colleagues. Much of the album is extremely beautiful and it’s interesting to compare and contrast the writing styles of Goldsby and pianist Test.
