Sir Bishop Richard - Tangier Sessions - VINYL LP

An evocative and atmospheric first collection of solo piano improvisations InchBainbridge's style is contemporary, yet imbued with the dynamic spirit of Ravel and Debussy, with a thrilling dash of Bill Evans... an album that's pure class from first note to lastInch (Prog Magazine). InchEver since studying music, art and art history as teenager I've been fascinated by the French Impressionist movement, both in art and music. The idea of capturing a fleeting scene, a brief moment in time, or a feeling evoked by a place or a person, has resonated with me throughout my musical life. Most people can link powerful memories to a certain piece of music, a picture, an aroma. Even when my mam was unable to remember words or people's names as Alzheimer's took hold, she was still able to remember how to play tunes on her accordion. In a sense, all the pieces on this album are impressions, a brief moment in time interpreted through the medium of music.Inch Dave Bainbridge

Our favorite six-string shaman is swinging that axe again! Sir Richard Bishop wrenches forth fresh, damnable truth and beauty from a musical kamikaze run through histories both known and unknown. Turning a gimlet eye to the American Primitive guitar style, Sir Rick applies his own bloodthirsty interpretive methods on a self-described Inchexcursion into the dark woods,Inch to locate - and play along with - the Primitive's moonshine-fed inner savage.

The Sir Richard Bishop show is back in town, alive as ever with exotic action, plus a bit of everything under the big top but the kitchen sink. InchOneiric FormularyInch is the sound of surprise - first Sir Rick being surprised, then us! Not simply by six-string acoustic rags 'n ragas, but departures as well into electric guitar, keyboard tricks, avant atmosphere, and even a reedy eastern knees-up! The Bish like you've never heard him before.1. Call to Order2. Celerity 3. Mit's Linctus Codeine Co. 4. Renaissance Nod5. Graveyard Wanderers 6. Dust Devils7. Enville 8. Black Sara 9.
