Harben Kay
The World I Live In
Once again Kay has delivered an album that combines thoughtful and intelligent writing with excellent playing and which again combines conventional jazz virtues with more contemporary ideas.
His most ambitious and diverse set thus far and a worthy successor to past glories. Carmichael has established his own distinctive voice within a proud Scottish jazz / folk tradition..
La Sorsa and Ollendorff have created something of a ‘mini masterpiece’. The pair have established an easy going rapport that is almost telepathic and which brings out the best in them.
For anybody who has seen them at a gig this album is an essential souvenir, but it’s a recording that also stands up on its own merits. There’s some terrific writing and playing here.
Smith displays an impressive maturity as both a player and a composer. His writing is rich, colourful and multi-faceted, exploring a variety of jazz styles over the course of the album.
