Jazz

'Double Talk' is the eighth solo release by renowned British saxophonist, flautist, composer and improviser, Theo Travis.

Featuring a dynamic new band and special guest Robert Fripp, the music is a highly contemporary evocation of the experimental Progressive, Jazz and Psychedelic music Travis was influenced by in his formative years.

The album also features a unique Travis take on the Pink Floyd classic, See Emily Play.

The fourth solo album from the UK’s leading solo bass guitarist, ‘Behind Every Word’ is Steve Lawson’s most complete statement as a composer and performer to date. Nine of the Eleven tracks are completely solo tunes, combining the ambient improvs of his previous work with more structurally composed music and a greater emphasis on melody. The album features two very special guests - pedal steel guitar legend, BJ Cole and one of London's finest jazz singers, Julie McKee.

Earth to Ether is British saxophonist/flautist/ composer Theo Travis's sixth album for the 33 Records label and features Theo's regular touring band, including pianist Simon Colam (recently performing with Trilok Gurtu and touring with Mercury nominee Ty), bassist Andy Hamill (Mark Murphy, Carleen Anderson, 4 Hero), and drummer Marc Parnell (Francis Dunnery, Jethro Tull, Damien Rice, Trevor Watts)

Special guest on the CD is ex-Caravan/Hatfield & The North singer and guitarist Richard Sinclair, one of the most unique talents of the 1970s English progressive/Canterbury music scene. The album was mixed by Steven Wilson at No Man's Land.

Acclaimed director and gifted trumpeter/composer Mike Figgis makes his Burning Shed debut with the enigmatic and haunted soundtrack to his revolutionary movie, Hotel.

Featuring contributions from legendary drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, the album additionally contains a devastating 10 minute collaboration with Skunk Anansie's Skin.

Ex-Soft Machine 'fuzz-bass' innovator Hugh Hopper has gifted Burning Shed one of the albums of his long and distinguished career. A computer manipulated collage of live and studio performances, 'Jazzloops' possesses the fizz and energy of classic Soft Machine along with an astute awareness the possibilities of contemporary technology that occasionally brings to mind the jazzier extremes of post-Trip-Hoppers DJ Shadow and Koop.
Featuring mangled contributions from Robert Wyatt, Elton Dean and John Marshall (amongst many others).
