Philip Selway - Strange Dance - VINYL LP

Live At Evolution is a companion piece of sorts to Philip Selway's recent released album, Strange Dance. This superb new live recording features Selway collaborating with celebrated string quartet, Elysian Collective, and percussionist Chris Vatalaro, to reimagine his songs in a slimmed-down setting. Commenting on the album Selway says InchI originally brought this ensemble together to play at the launch event for Strange Dance, as I felt this combination of string quartet and percussion, together with my vocals, piano and guitar would be a compact way to capture the scope of the varied musical textures on the album. I was so made up with how it sounded and how it reframed the songs, that I wanted to capture this dynamic in a recording.Inch As well as songs from Strange Dance, there is also a version one of his soundtrack pieces, InchPeople Of The SeaInch as well as a track called InchSong For UsInch - written as a pitch piece for a TV show.

Jaki Byard always personified the past, present and future of jazz, wherever or whenever one might have been fortunate enough to experience his challenging ideas. An icon in the history of jazz, Jaki was Art Tatum, Earl Hines, Bud Powell, Ran Blake, Cecil Taylor and Bill Evans, all in one. Yet, like these fellow icons, he was his own uncompromising, unique, living entity. He isn't a household name, but most likely his low profile is the result of an irresistible need to constantly reinvent himself, the sure sign of the consummate artist.
