Emily Francis Trio
Atomic Tour Live
For anybody who has seen them at a gig this album is an essential souvenir, but it’s a recording that also stands up on its own merits. There’s some terrific writing and playing here.
Gripper & Jeffery shine in the exposed setting of the piano / vocal duo. These are songs that convince both musically and lyrically, there is real musical and emotional intelligence at work here.
A substantial triumph for Janette Mason as she breathes new jazz life into this well chosen selection of tunes. Her arrangements are intelligent, imaginative and sophisticated.
The playing is excellent throughout and there are some superb individual solos from some of Bristol’s finest musicians. Hague’s original writing is also genuinely impressive.
A highly impressive debut album from Kilner, who impresses both as an instrumentalist and a composer. I predict that we will be hearing a lot more from this hugely talented young musician.
