Josh Arcoleo’s debut album available for pre-order
The first thing that hits home with Beginnings – tenor saxophonist Josh Arcoleo’s debut CD – is its timelessness. It’s immediately modern and wonderfully assured and yet the entire tradition of jazz’s first instrument seems to flow through it. Arcoleo has a highly personal tone on his horn and there’s an individuality about his sound that is bold and commanding. Some musicians take years to learn these lessons and others never do. Josh Arcoleo, at 23 with already plenty of road miles under his belt, definitely has gravitas, that rarest of qualities, and he has it in spades.
Ivo Neame + Guests at Purcell Room – 10th Feb 2012
Ivo Neame is fast establishing himself as one of the leading pianists and composers on the British scene. Combining melodic drive with his own elegant compositional style Ivo Neame has developed a formidable, expansive piano sound and compositional voice. A busy sideman as well as solo artist, his album ‘Caught in the Light of Day‘, released in 2009, received rave reviews. This concert sees Neame expand his writing to a larger ensemble in a set of edgy and characterful themes, matched by resourceful, conversational improvising.
