It’s taken a while for Alison Rayner the composer to step all the way out of the shadows. But on the strength of this fine album\, she might have to get used to the spotlight”.\nJohn Fordham May 2014\n\nAlison Rayner has had a lengthy career as a bass-player and composer. Now\, as a leader\, she ties together many of the strands of her numerous musical influences. A long-time Charlie Haden admirer as well as a Jaco fan\, Alison Rayner plays acoustic bass exclusively here\, and is supported by the eloquent Diane McLoughlin on saxophones\, by Deirdre Cartwright’s soulful and crisply rhythmic guitar\, pianist Steve Lodder’s fluid improvisations and the propulsive drumming of Buster Birch.\n\nExpect terrific grooves\, poignant melodies and fluid improvisation. Influences as diverse as funk\, folk\, and Afro-Cuban dance music.\n\n“Together they sound like a band with a long collective pedigree and a delight in playing together.”\nJazz Journal Nov 2014\n\n“The recent album August shows her to be a superb composer… a perfect showcase of Rayner’s diverse talents”\nJazz UK Oct 2014\n\n“The group’s tight and assured playing are superbly suited to play Rayner’s compositions\, her thoughtful and melodic soloing being a particular highlight. The debut album couldn’t be stronger”\nLondonJazzNews Oct 2014\n\nPlus:\n\nCamilla George Quartet\n\nAn exciting quartet showcasing some of London’s finest young players.\n\nCamilla George saxophone\, Sarah Tandy piano\, Daniel Casimir bass\,Femi Koleoso drums\n\nThe quartet is led by rising young alto player\, Camilla George.
