Album review: Backblocks (Sam Bates Trio) by John Hardaker

Rhythm. Heat. Lines. Movement. Energy. Since 2010’s ‘The Singularity’, The Sam Bates Trio have naturally progressed into the force of nature that we hear here.

Album Review: Infinite Ape (Dan Sheehan) by John Hardaker

‘Dan Sheehan, whose conception and compositions (largely) are the reason for Infinite Ape, moves like the ocean behind all this – his playing, whether acoustic or Rhodes, is as big as the room, whether it be a sprinkling of notes or a killer riff or – yeah!­ – big, big chords.’

Gig review: Mutiny Music (Rick Robertson & Baecastuff) by John Hardaker

‘…cross-cultural mash-up worked beautifully across the entire suite – a testimony to Robertson’s smart writing, deep research and even deeper emotional connection to the music.’

Album review: Wave Rider (Andrea Keller Quartet) by John Hardaker

In his liner notes (notes worth the price of admission in themselves), NYC based pianist Barney McAll – no slouch in the ‘daring’ department himself – says, ‘(Keller) has been blending memories, sonic pictures, Bartók, Shorter and an immaculate classical technique to ensure her trajectory could never disappoint. Andrea is a serious inventor.’

Album review | The Healer (Anton Delecca Quartet) by John Hardaker

It is a jazz format that is one of the most satisfying of all within the canon, and they do it so well. So well, in fact, that they deserve your ears. They already have mine.

Cover of Ben Panucci Trio CD Short Stories - river with buildings lining the bank
Album Releases, Reviews Posted on7 October 20137 October 2013

Album review: Short Stories (Ben Panucci Trio) by John Hardaker

Such is the range and span of colours and shifting scenes across Short Stories. That all of this can be expressed through the limited means of a jazz guitar trio – to all intents and purposes acoustic – is not only a measure of Panucci, Boneham and Waples’ creative mastery, but also of their vision.
