Paul Dunmall associate American drummer Tony Bianco with violinist Faith Heleene Brackenbury on youtube just posted on the British Progressive Jazz site. Ms Brackenbury is a new name to me - I've just messaged Tony to find out who the bassist is here. Funnily enough a Lord Brackenbury was in charge at the Tower of London when the two princes were infamously done in by smothering; my mother, strangely, was very proud of the fact he was somewhere way back in our family tree, but I've been unable to establish the veracity of that.

I saw Tony and Faith (they are a couple I believe) at the end of last year I think it was, along with Paul Dunmall and Oli Brice, if I remember correctly. I'd seen that they'd posted this but can't listen now because I'm listening to the incredible new Dunmall album Soultime Again again.
Not heard of Ralph Bowen since the 1980s and the Blue Note "house band" Out of the Blue. Always good to see someone sticking to the music for the long haul. Great track, too.
all words are trains for moving past what really has no name

...and again. Listening now, it's clear that some of the formal aspects of these pieces is another facet of their intriguing success - there is that dissolving of the soloist-accompanist kind of texture, which is there in parts but for some sections isn't, and many of these tunes are multi-sectioned. The influences are diverse enough for the record to escape easy categorisation. And trumpeter Percy Pursglove is exceptional. And the performances are really inspired.
Now got the round tuit and reconnected the CD player to the good ol' NAD. Just finished playing Azimuth's "The Tunnel" and now onto Miles and Gil's "Quiet Nights". Not at the volume I'm playing it at.

I posted this tune on my facebook page this morning as it happens.
Today I'm embarking on another listening project of a boxed set of jazz, this time The Complete Albums Collection 1954-57 by Thelonious Monk, which starts with Genius Of Modern Music Vol. 1.

Yesterday I listened to Genius of Modern Music vol. 2, and right now, on disk two of the boxed set, Thelonious Monk Trio.
