The latest episode of my podcast is out now, featuring a conversation with UK jazz guitarist Chris Allard.
'Melodic Collective' is out now on Perdido Records, featuring a genuinely classy, cohesive jazz quintet: Chris (guitar), John Turville (piano), Robbie Robson (trumpet), Oli Hayhurst (bass) and Will Glaser (drums).
These are five great individuals who have come together in a genuine collective to produce original, dynamic jazz. It's not an 'easy listening' album, but it is easy to listen to. Each track has a different feel that nevertheless speaks to the quintet as a whole. It has the live sound that can only be achieved with careful recording (thanks to Mike Trim at Gecko Studios) and promises much from this fledgling collective.
