Mercury Prize nominee Gwilym Simcock presents the most energetic trio album heard in recent years!
Garland, Simcock, and Sirkis sound out all imaginable possibilities of this unusual instrumentation, skillfully interweaving distinctive melodies, complex harmonies, and bounding folk-tinged rhythms along with many other influences from all over the world plus some tributes to recent British contemporary music history! Mercury Prize nominee Gwilym Simcock was also named 2007 Jazz Musician of the Year at the Parliamentary Jazz Awards, a BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist, and won Rising Star Awards at the BBC Jazz Awards and the British Jazz Awards. Tim Garland, a Grammy®-winning arranger and virtuoso horn player, is one of the UK s most prolific musicians. First forging an international reputation with Chick Corea, Bill Bruford, and Storms/Nocturnes, his diverse musical skills are evident in a growing repertoire of orchestral compositions that fuse jazz and contemporary composition.
