Dinosaur - To the Earth
Edition Records (2020) From the Guardian: “[Laura] Jurd seems unconcerned by transient fashions or enrollment in any kind of scene, and pursues a private muse that draws on jazz, folk traditions from Europe and the Middle East, and the harmonic language of Stravinsky – yet her work is always spiritedly accessible, and often suggests wordless songs. To the Earth is Jurd’s third release with her Dinosaur quartet, a closely bonded ensemble embodying the jazz axiom that composition and improvisation are an inseparable two-way stretch.”

Chris Potter - There Is A Tide
For some unexplained reason I seem to have overlooked this talented musician. His latest 2020 release features 12 different instruments played by Potter himself! The result is a technically impressive and fine album, but a bit smoothened down, guess by the C-19 nature of confinement recording, somehow lacking some of that magic sparkle when musicians are jamming together in a studio? Chris Potter - Alto Sax, Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Flute, Alto Flute, Piano, Keyboards, Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Percussion
