Description
Songs To The North Sky will delight existing fans, and serve as an ideal primer for those yet to be acquainted with one of the most remarkable British musicians of his generation.. For years now, Tim Garland's playing and composition have less reflected 'influences' than styles he has deeply assimilated -everything from Celtic music to Yellowjackets fusion, from free improvisation to classical performance, from ECM 'third stream' to left-field electroacoustics. As a composer, he uses his native eclecticism and phenomenal technique to make telling and often surprising connections; as a bandleader, he creates spaces in which other musicians will surprise themselves. Songs to the North Sky unites these two strands of his career in one remarkable project. After two years in the making between much international touring and time away from the UK, Garland celebrates ten years of "Lighthouse Music" and a deserved place once again as band leader. One half of Songs to the North Sky features Lighthouse, Garland's expandable small group celebrating a new chapter to mark its tenth year. Garland and the astonishing percussion of Asaf Sirkis are joined here by three of the most talented pianists working in jazz today: Jason Rebello, Geoffrey Keezer and John Turville. Bassist Kevin Glasgow and guitarist Ant Law are newcomers to the Lighthouse project, but typically, Garland has devised perfect spaces in which their two singular talents can flourish.
