about

A blockbuster double album of entirely new, exciting music recorded during the hottest two days of summer 2022 and following their recent sell-out shows, Sharp Little Bones (Volumes I & II) captures the energy, virtuosity, and soul of the house trio of Peggy's Skylight (a multi-award-winning jazz venue). Joined by MOBO-nominated, multi-BBC Jazz and Parliamentary Jazz Awards winner Tony Kofi, they are a quartet of virtuosos playing brand-new compositions that reach deep within but far beyond the jazz canon. Their sound has a fresh, contemporary appeal: live acoustic forces rooted in bebop and blues, embellished with tasteful electronics and warm, analogue synth textures: an eclectic audio melting pot of jazz, funk, blues, and bop; beautiful bass-led melodies, spacious ballads, spiritual and expansive atmospheres, hard swingers, and groove-led pieces packed full of vibe, with room for expressive solos and group-led improvisation within well-crafted, melodic writing and tight, rhythmical arrangements.

"Among the countless possible ways to get acquainted with her work this surely isn't a top-tier starting point, but if you're fan enough to look past the technical imperfectness this is a very intriguing release, which presents the wide range of a great artist during a short span of time." https://derohlsen.blogspot.com/2023/07/jazz-in-britain-barbara-thompson-first.html Der Ohlsen

I normally only listen to electronic music, but after listening to this album months ago I found it kept calling out to me. Now after purchasing it I can see why. I am totally addicted to its beauty and harmony. Thank you so much for the wax version, as it is the only form of music I collect. kaosskid
