Al Swainger’s Pointless Beauty
Impure Imagination
A thought provoking work that draws inspiration from a broad range of musical, cultural and sociological influences influences.
Finds Mulelid honing his approach to the solo piano format. A frequently beautiful album that has the potential to appeal to a large number of open minded listeners.
The album is chock full of melodic, intelligent and highly evocative compositions and both the soloing and the overall ensemble playing is superlative throughout. A candidate for his best album yet.
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.
