Described by Dame Cleo Laine as some of the most exciting original new music I have heard for a long time, this septet weaves together influences as diverse as flamenco, traditional folk and New Orleans second line, to form tunes with striking melodies, colourful harmony and propulsive grooves. Bringing together some of the most talented young musicians in the London jazz scene, the group creates a melodic, warm and distinct sound. Reviewing for London Jazz News, Peter Jones wrote: Theres a certain stately grandeur to these arrangements, which sound more like they were written for a big band than for a large group. Such is the internal cohesion of the band that its tough to single out any of the individual musicians. Having said that, theres a lovely Lark Ascending-type solo by Matthew Herd on soprano sax not on Skylark, as you might expect, but on the track that follows Winter Halo. Skyline needs to be listened to with care. Theres a lot going on, and it richly repays your full attention.
