Robson (guitar) and Julian Siegel (tenor sax & bass clarinet). The quartet's line-up is
completed by Thaddeus Kelly (bass) and Gene Calderazzo (drums). The richly lyrical
and strongly melodic compositions written by the leaders provide the framework and
starting point, underpinned by the rock solid, freewheeling and supercharged rhythm
section. Their critically acclaimed new album 'Swamp', released in September 2014 on
Whirlwind Records pumps their groove-based sound with viscous voodoo, Hi-Life romps,
burning post-bop, no messin rock outs, spacious reflections and heavy hooks.

‘Songs to the North Sky’ – Tim Garland
Tim Garland is one of the most versatile musicians in the UK. Tim Garland’s playing and
composition have less reflected ‘influences’ than styles he has deeply assimilated, from
folk, fusion, classical and mainstream jazz. As a composer, he uses his native
eclecticism and phenomenal technique to make telling and often surprising connections;
as a bandleader, he creates spaces in which other musicians will surprise themselves.
‘Songs to the North Sky’ unites these two strands of his career in one remarkable
project. After two years in the making between much international touring and time away
from the UK, Garland celebrates ten years of “Lighthouse Music” and a deserved place
once again as band leader.

London Jazz News, ‘ TJB’ has developed from its origins as a fairly conventional

provocative (the controversy surrounding the online retailer Amazon is a current
topic) and carries fairly erudite pieces alongside more journalistic content. The site

Tommy Smith is a leading light in European jazz, first and foremost as one of the
finest saxophonists of his generation, and latterly as the founder, in 1995, and
artistic director of The Scottish National Jazz Orchestra (SNJO). These careerdefining achievements are framed by his status as an international recording artist;
a composer and arranger of extraordinary ambition; and not least, as a jazz
educator. His prolific career began in earnest when, aged only sixteen, he recorded
his first album Giant Strides. He was rewarded with a scholarship to Berklee
College of Music, an experience that has shaped his affirmative approach to jazz.
Since then, he has toured and recorded with many of the greatest players of his
generation and has made twenty-seven solo albums as a leader for Blue Note, Linn
and his own label Spartacus Records. Tommy Smith is also founder/director of The

Simon Purcell
Simon Purcell is probably best known as Head of Jazz at Trinity-Laban
Conservatoire of Music and Dance and member of the Pop and Jazz Steering
Group for the Association of European Conservatoires. Since the mid-1980s, Simon
has performed both as leader and sideman, appearing with amongst others – Red
Rodney, Kenny Wheeler, Eddie Henderson, Stan Sulzman, Jean Toussaint and
Julian Arguelles. During his teacher-training he was fortunate to be tutored by Janet
Ritterman head of the Music Education Department at Goldsmiths College. A
succession of Tuesday afternoon workshops required him to teach songs
nonverbally, i.e. without any verbal explanation or notation. This introduction to
hemispherical function of the brain, educational psychology and the realisation that
lesson planning and evaluation was not only necessary in order to achieve troublefree lessons but also was a form of creative problem-solving, convinced him of a
joint vocation as musician and teacher.

Evan Parker
Evan Parker the British jazz saxophone revolutionary who transformed the
language and techniques of the instrument in the late 1960s and has since become
one of the most admired and influential saxophone improvisers on the planet.
Parker has been rewriting the book on the sounds that can be made with a
saxophone for almost half a century, developing a remarkable post-Coltrane
technique that has allowed him to play counterpoint on what was designed as a
single-line instrument, generate electronics-like textures acoustically, and build a
personal soundscape that avoids conventional tunes but has its own arresting
lyricism. Parker's future plans involve exploring further possibilities in electronics
and the development of his solo music. They also depend to a large degree on
continuity of the trios, of the large ensembles, of his more occasional yet still longstanding associations with that pool of musicians to whose work he remains
attracted.
