100 copies only. Available digitally here

"This is part of a bigger project I'm doing which is, to all extents and purposes, reworking/looking at the jazz standard repertoire. The idea being that since the 60s there has been very little experimentation with standards. Think about Miles Davis, Coltrane, Dolphy and the like were doing, it's incredible, they took popular songs...show tunes and turned them into something completely different. Fantastic stuff. But ever since that it's almost as if things have become stuck and there's no movement. That's not to say there is not great playing, there is, it's just that what is actually being done is more of the same thing."
