A big band/brass coalescence

“It works!”

Lyrical subtlety and rhythmic complexity

Cementing British-Canadian musical links

Where jazz and Nordic folk meet

Less is definitely more

Guitarists celebrating the 606 Club’s 50th anniversary

A voice-driven collection of ancient and modern

Supporting grassroots jazz across Cambridge

Deft melodies and assured improvisation

Folk-like combines with electronic

Jo Harrop goes full-on soul

A monstrous premiere awaits

Becoming a happy organism

“Part of a living tradition of big band music”

Recorded live at Love Supreme

Boundless and ethereal

Bringing film music home

‘Impure Imagination’ begins with the impossibly brief and beautiful ‘The Paper House’ and this sets the tone for an album that gives rise to Al Swainger’s Pointless Beauty project: each of the 11 tracks takes us in a different musical direction. Pointless Beauty is Al Swainger (bass, synths, guitar and piano), Jon Clark (drums), George Cooper (piano and Rhodes), Mike Outram (electric guitar) and Gary Alesbrook (flugelhorn and muted trumpet). Each track is composed by Swainger

A distinctive variety of grooves
