“A new individual peak of achievement from English pianist Richard Fairhurst on this dreamy piano trio album. This goes deep and marks a new phase in Fairhurst's approach” - Marlbank
“I love the way he takes recognisable pianistic language from the likes of McCoy Tyner, Herbie Hancock and Bill Evans yet paints very distinct musical pictures. He also really takes his time, allowing all the trio dynamics to breathe organically.” - Soweto Kinch BBC Radio 3

RICHARD FAIRHURST TRIO
Steinway Artist Richard Fairhurst has been an important figure on the UK jazz scene since the mid 1990’s. His ongoing significance is evident in the recent album of superb duets which he recorded with the late, great John Taylor. This performance features new music from Richard’s exciting trio with the propulsive bass work of Dave Whitford and brilliant drummer Tim Giles. Their music combines both cerebral and lyrical improvisation full of emotion with high-energy grooves.
