Description
Family Band is the eponymously titled 3rd release from this quartet of like-minded friends and collaborators.
This is a band in the truest sense, with no leader contributions come equally from Kim Macari on trumpet, Riley Stone-Lonergan on tenor saxophone, Tom Rivière on double bass and Steve Hanley on drums. The group met while studying at Leeds College of Music in 2008, founding the band in 2015.
The album includes compositions by all members. Kim Macari's "Deft But Bereft" is a frantic piece of protest music set against the apocalyptic paranoia of a Cold War era radio broadcast. Stone-Lonergan's "Mistake Not" is a coiled spring acting as a jumping off point for his improvisatory fire. Hanley's emancipatory choral "One Road" features spoken word by Macari and acts as a powerful call to action. The freewheeling and unpredictable swing of Rivière's "Monty" takes inspiration from the shifting tempos of Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones on Ornette Coleman's classic New York Is Now!
Kim Macari: trumpet
Riley Stone-Lonergan: tenor saxophone
Tom Rivière: bass
Steve Hanley: drums
"Family Band is 2023 jazz played by people who understand the giants (Ornette, Coltrane, Cherry) who we're all in debt to. Family Band plus engineer, Tim Thomas, have come up with a smart multilayered recording, recommended no health warnings." - Steve Day
"An album that is full of surprises, but one which is ever open to interpretation, demanding revisiting and never disappointing when you do." - Freq
