The above 3 tracks are from our 2nd CD 'Turning Point' which will be ready by early May (2009). It contains 11 tracks of original music recorded by Derek Nash at Clowns Pocket Studio, we are excited and very much looking forward to playing the material at gigs. To buy a copy go to www.jazzcds.co.uk .This is a review by David Wakefield of Turning Point inEastern Daily Press June 26th 2009‘The Norwich based jazz quartet recorded this album at Derek Nash’s splendid Clown’s Pocket Studio in Kent where the clientele includes such jazz luminaries as Dave O’Higgins and Jamie Cullum. The 11 tracks are all originals eight of them by pianist Peter Hayes and three by bassist Dave Pullin and are a fair reflection of the influences of the band. The title track has big flavours of Herbie Hancock ; Melodious Funk for Thelonious Monk speaks for itself…and so on. The two writers have differing styles, with Hayes’ classical roots showing in some angular and contemplative work. But Pullin’s Queequeg is the stand-out track on an accomplished album that belies the local tag.’ David Wakefield.
This is a review of our previous CD 'Pine '
'Norwich four piece Peter Hayes (Piano), Dave Pullin (double bass), Trevor Rowland (sax) and Rob Masters (drums) present eight cuts of thoughtful small band jazz. Peter and Dave demonstrate their ability at writing smooth yet challenging tunes that are handled skilfully and with care by the quartet.
Recorded live at the king of Hearts, this album modestly represents a strata of British jazz that goes about its business without undue fuss and yet illustrates just how many good but often unheralded players we have up and down the country. Named after Red Garland and Shadow Wilson, the band moves through the series of originals including stand out tracks. Circle with its punchy piano chords and rhythmic sax stabs and the reflective Man Made of Rain. ' 'Musician' Summer 2006To purchase (£10.00) send a message or go to www.preluderecords.co.UK.
