An excellent offering from Waaju, capturing the energy, excitement and drive of their live performances but combining it with considerable subtlety and sophistication & a high level of musical skill.
Immaculately written, arranged, played & recorded this is an impressive piece of work. United by a loose thematic concept the individual pieces hang together like a suite, coming together convincingly
The music and lyrics are extraordinarily evocative, and once again the musicians all perform superbly throughout, complementing leader Andrew Plummer’s voice and words with great skill and acumen.
Far exceeding the usual limits of the jazz ‘tribute album’ this invigorating homage represents an unexpected delight. The performances are absolutely terrific throughout.
An impressive début from Downard. It’s a highly mature musical statement that establishes his credentials as a composer of considerable ability and imagination.
