Ruta Di
Onwards & Upwards
Di’s most ambitious recording to date. I like the way in which she brings her many musical and cultural influences together to create a convincing and cohesive whole.
Another impressive offering from Cavanagh-Brierley with regard to both the writing & the playing. The compositions are intelligent & well orchestrated but with sufficient space left for the soloists.s
A thoroughly enjoyable recording featuring interesting and intelligent compositions and arrangements allied to some excellent playing.
The Wallpaper Music series sounds like nothing else around at the moment and Figes has created a contemporary jazz / prog rock sound-world that is very much his own.
Bainbridge’s writing within his self imposed framework is consistently intelligent and interesting and the often tensile music is well served by the unconventional instrumental line-up.
