Stuart Henderson Quintet
Back To Blue Note
Guest contributor Trevor Bannister recommends jazz listeners to check out the talents of trumpeter and bandleader Stuart Henderson and his latest quintet release "Back To Blue Note".
Released in a landmark year for both its creator and for its inspiration this sounds like a landmark album. Bates puts his own stamp on Charlie Parker’s music more emphatically than ever before.
The sound of three huge individual talents coming together to create something that is even greater than the sum of its parts.
There is some excellent writing and some exceptional playing here, and it's particularly satisfying to see Gwilym Simcock representing the UK on the world jazz stage.
A highly impressive statement of intent. This is a fiercely interactive trio and the playing and writing combines a real sense of fun and joyousness with a New York informed confidence and attitude.
