I’m looking forward to playing some trio dates in Scotland and the north of England at the start of October. Please tell your friends if you know anyone in these parts! I’ll be joined by award-winning Scottish double bassist Andrew Robb and three great drummers along the way (Alyn Cosker, Steve Hanley and Will Blackstone),…
Pleased to get this nice review from great American jazz critic Scott Yanow. Album still available here!
The May issue of Jazz Journal features an interview I did last summer with David West. It’s mostly about my duo album with Michael Kanan, which was released shortly after David and I had this conversation. Hoping to have some more concerts scheduled with Michael soon!
I’m pleased to say that my new album is out now on all platforms. Thanks a lot to those who’ve already bought a copy or had a listen. It’s on BandCamp here (CD or musician-friendly digital/streaming). Or all of the usual streaming services here. Or send me a message if you’d like me to send you a CD…
I recently got back from a great trip from New York. As well as seeing lots of inspiring music and eating some lovely food, one of my main reasons for making the journey to the city was to make a duo recording with the pianist Michael Kanan.
Happy to have some gigs coming up to promote my new album (more on that soon). Here’s a poster with some dates in the first half of 2024. Head over to my gigs page for more info and tickets. See you out there!
