Looking ahead again today to another early-2024 British jazz release and the
return of the QOW Trio three years on from their self titled debut and which
teams legendary Tubby Hayes drummer Spike Wells with two much younger players -
bebop loving saxist Riley Stone-Lonergan and equally classic modern-jazz rooted
bassist Eddie Myer who has also had a career as an indie rocker with Turin
Brakes.
A band steeped in 1950s Sonny Rollins, tunes include Stone-Lonergan originals
plus pieces by Ellington and Strayhorn, Jackie McLean, Lee Morgan, Thelonious
Monk and Big John Patton recording in a London studio after an Irish
tour. Close your eyes and imagine you are in a New York loft sometime in the
1950s - it's all part of the spell all delivered with bags full of energy and
without a pianist in sight.
