Chris Batchelor's Zoetic: Telling The Tale

Read "Telling The Tale" reviewed by Chris May


A founder member of the radical London big band Loose Tubes in 1983, trumpeter Chris Batchelor was one of the Young Turks leading the mid-to-late 1980s British jazz renaissance. While pianist and composer Django Bates emerged as perhaps the most high-profile member of the band, Batchelor is every inch his equal, both as a player and as a composer. Batchelor leads two groups in 2023. One is the Dada-esque romp Pigfoot, a quartet he founded in 2013 ...

John Parricelli: Alba

Read "Alba" reviewed by John Kelman


Even with the internet's global reach, albums are sometimes unfairly overlooked, with John Parricelli's superb 2000 release Alba one that deserved to push this British guitarist into the international spotlight. A first-call session player who has, in the jazz sphere, worked with artists including Kenny Wheeler, Iain Ballamy and Martin Speake, Parricelli is a musical chameleon who never loses sight of his own identity. He takes the best elements of Pat Metheny, Bill Frisell, John Abercrombie and Ralph Towner through ...
