Zoe Gilby

Ian Mann looks at singer & lyricist Zoe Gilby's 'vocalese' adaptations of tunes by the American trumpeter Tom Harrell. He also examines her EP of voice & double bass duets, recorded with Andy Champion
A hugely impressive début and an album that demonstrates an impressive compositional maturity and a prodigious gift for melody. The folk elements help to give the album a distinct Scottish identity.
A considerable triumph for Tomos Williams. His ambitious and intelligent compositions are brilliantly played by a hand picked, all Welsh ensemble featuring some of the country’s leading musicians.
Metheny’s status as a musical legend is assured, but he’s not an artist content to rest on his laurels. This album finds him still looking forward & developing a true synthesis between musical genres.
A review with a difference as Ian Mann looks at the new album from Georgia Mancio & Alan Broadbent as they launch the recording with a special Zoom event hosted by Watermill Jazz in Dorking.
