about

This live recording of the Matt Anderson Quartet from the middle of their May 2023 U.K. tour is a snapshot of the band at their best: stretching out on a set of original tunes with a characteristically open, interactive and risk-taking approach.

The band’s strengths as an ensemble are particularly apparent in a live setting, having been refined through eight years of gigging, touring and recording together, a longevity rare in today’s constantly-changing jazz scene. The Leeds audience excitement is also palpable as the band return to a venue they have played at many times over the years, HEART in Headingley, as part of the city’s second annual jazz festival.

Warmer Than Blood

I investigated WTB after hearing an, as yet untitled, piece on BBC3’s J to Z. I was instantly taken with it and reminded of the music of National Health. It’s a wonderful album. I listen through ear buds, via Bluetooth speaker and put through the AVR to fill a room. All are immersive, while different. khawaja

Eye To Eye: Live 1971

I miss John Taylor…saw him play in so many different configurations but especially with John Surman. This set is a gem and not to be missed…Kenny Wheeler is just superb! Also, wishing Matt Parker all the very best with this new label venture…along with ‘Jazz In Britain’ this wonderful period of truly great music is finally getting platforms it deserves.
