Next week my quartet will be out and about for the first time in quite a few months!  We’ve got some new material which I’m excited to try out.

We’ll then be recording a new album, the last one being almost three years old!  I can’t wait to get the new stuff out there!

There is quite a lot of exciting new things happening for me at the moment, but they deserve their own post – watch this space!

Here is an extract from our performance of my piece, ‘Pale Blue Dot’, at Jazz at the Lescar earlier this summer.  I’m currently booking in dates for the new year, so keep a look out for that.  Read more about the project here.

Incidentally, congratulations to Jez, Hannah, Rich and the team at Jazz at the Lescar for picking up the Parliamentary Jazz Award for best Jazz venue in the UK!  Fully deserved!

Also, my quartet will be doing a small run of dates in January then there will be a couple of other short tours dotted throughout the year.  There is also plans for another album to be released next year!
