Nils Kavanagh
No Expectations
A strikingly mature debut. Kavanagh and his colleagues give the compositions room to breathe and grow and the interplay between the three instruments is highly developed and richly detailed.
Part solo recording, part band album it successfully combines both elements and also delivers a successful and beguiling mix of electric and acoustic sounds embracing a variety of musical styles.
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.
