Colin Steele Quartet
Joni
Steele takes Mitchell’s songs and makes them his own, putting his distinctive stamp on the music, but without losing its essential spirit.
This is the sound of four musicians from two different countries celebrating the shared language of jazz and doing so in a spirit of fun and great creativity. A fitting tribute to the late Wickins.
An impressive opening statement. There is much joy and energy in these effervescent and vivacious performances, but this is not just ‘party’ music, there is a high level of musical sophistication too.
The playing is excellent throughout and I’m surprised that none of these musicians is better known. In their own ways each is equally impressive, with Woods also making his mark as a composer.
Coltrane Dedication definitely approach JC’s music in the spirit of the man himself. I recommend their skilled and passionate updating of the Coltrane legacy to adventurous jazz listeners everywhere.
