Skyline

by Tom Green Septet

supported by

Peter Jones A stunning, dynamic opener followed by swinging and inventive tracks. Great stuff!

mike rome Seen the band live twice - an amazing sound, and endorsing Evan Parker's comment, the front four brass players do sound a whole lot bigger!

about

Skyline is the debut album by trombonist Tom Green, winner of the 2013 Dankworth Prize for Jazz Composition. His Septet weaves together influences as diverse as flamenco, traditional folk and New Orleans second line, to form tunes with striking melodies, colourful harmony and propulsive grooves. Bringing together some of the most talented young musicians in the London jazz scene, the group creates a melodic, warm and distinct sound world using the full range of textures available in the seven-piece ensemble.

The Septet has performed across the UK and internationally, including an 8-date UK tour in December 2013, performances at Wigmore Hall and the Stables in Wavendon, and recent workshops, festivals and concerts in Tunisia, Italy and Switzerland.

“Remarkable… only the very best arrangers can get a sound like that from four horns”
Evan Parker

“Some of the most exciting original new music I have heard for a long time”
Dame Cleo Laine

“Contemporary chamber jazz that is both elegant and lively, full of tightly written passages that blossom into free playing with natural ease”
Tony Benjamin, Venue Magazine Bristol

When The World Was One
by Matthew Halsall & The Gondwana Orchestra

supported by 6 fans who also own “Skyline”

Difficult to name a favourite track, however if I was forced to choose an all time favourite album this would certainly be up there at the top. I'm in the UK but it was a friend in South Africa that introduced me to Gondwana. Absolutely beautiful album from start to finish, amazing musicians and composition both. Thank you, it inspires me to become a better musician. rai scott
