Description
'The Feel Good Place' marks bass player and composer Tim Thornton's debut on Jellymould and comprises six compositions by the leader and a cover of McCartney's "Here, There and Everywhere".
Thornton has already established himself as a stalwart of the UK jazz scene. With a residency at Ronnie Scott's Late Late Show as host with this quartet, a regular member of The Ronnie Scott's All Stars and sideman to numerous national and international artists Tim's "rich woody bass sound" (London Jazz) and "impeccable swing and timing" (Ian Mann) have earned him a formidable reputation.
The foundations of this album are built on pure unadulterated swing. From the bluesy, smouldering slow tempo of the title track, to the up-tempo, toe-tapping, drum-propelled track "Dribbling", Thornton makes no apology for writing swinging tunes. But this is not a band simply re-creating the feel of the 50's and 60's.
Thornton's band kicks this genre firmly into the present with both sound and feel. The opening track, "Sweet Chin Music" and the third track "Newborn" have a serious mid-tempo groove, with the leader taking the melody line on the later and the two slow numbers, "Corona" and the aforementioned "Here There and Everywhere" are a beautiful contrast to the rest of the album.
Thornton has surrounded himself with musicians of a serious pedigree who each enjoy diverse musical careers. The wide variety of music that these musicians play only adds to the contemporary slant of this recording.
