Description
Paul Dunmall the composer is to the fore here, delving deep into his musical history by providing a range of material that celebrates the breadth of his experience including aspects of jazz, funk and soul.
Dunmall has always actively encouraged younger players. That generosity is evident here - it is an album where he is happy to lay out for long stretches, trusting his band to take ownership of the material, and shape it in their own ways. Dunmall's music has so often been underpinned by the strength of the bass and drum partnerships that he chooses, and this album is no exception. Both James Owston and Jim Bashford are superlative soloists and here they also demonstrate their seemingly telepathic understanding of each other's musical approach: propelling the music forwards, creating an unshakeable support for the ensemble, and providing delicately beautiful interactions.
Paul Dunmall: alto & tenor saxophones
Steven Saunders: guitar
Richard Foote: trombone
