Description
Confession is the debut album from Stoop Quintet, a jazz group whose unusual sound is darkly melodic, characterised by obsessive motifs and sudden bursts of improvised music against a highly composed back-drop.
Featuring Sam Miles (saxophones), Alex Munk (guitar), Flo Moore (bass), Dave Smyth (drums) and Jonathan Brigg (piano and compositions), the Quintet was formed at the University of York, where there was much bending of stylistic parameters. The tunes that emerged wildly in those first experiments have since adopted a cooler sound, shaped by performance at venues such as the Vortex and a prestigious platform at the London Jazz Festival.
